Very cool content and lecture! Note to all academic and industry video editors: it is interesting to see the lecture room and audience maybe once at the beginning and once at the end. After that, please focus on the slides and videos being shown in their original format (show the content, not the content being projected on a screen). This is especially important for technical subjects. Thanks!
Very exciting talk! And the professor is not only talking about soft robotics itself, but also delivers the spirit of science. It refreshes my mind and I am respectful for him.
This comment is not about the content of the talk, but rather about the filming,,,why the focus is almost always on the speaker even when there will be more value of showing what he is presenting in his visual presentation? So many missed visuals.
Very nice. We can guess that factory work and production work in large scale factories will be less and less human work. At least the design and maintenance jobs are still safe.
Edison may not have conducted much scientific research himself, but he did fund others like Nikola Tesla to do so. Therefore, Edison did see the value in scientific research.
we need to get away from this thinking. if robots can do work for humans, we should be able to reap those fruits as a humanity. we could decouple survival from income by distributing the profits to all of humanity.
