Ep. 39 - Autonomous Mobile Robots & The Localization Problem ft. Ali Safaei Abstract: The Future of Science

    • Science

Our guest this week, Ali Safaei, is an Engineering postdoctoral fellow in the Aerospace Mechatronics Lab (Yes, the same lab that Eitan Bulka, Ep. 11, just graduated from!) at McGill University and HumanITAS Solutions. Ali is a force to be reckoned with: he's got a PhD and 23 scientific publications under his belt, as well as book coming up for publicaton later this year! Buckle up and get ready for an unforgettable tour through the wonderful world of unmanned aircraft and ground rovers...

Questions Answered
What's the secret to academic success?
How do we solve the localization problem for autonomous mobile robots?
What are the keys to success for communication within and between groups of autonomous agents?
How has nature inspired an entire field of engineering?
What's the most advanced form of GPS on planet earth?
How does the wisdom of crowds apply to groups of autonomous robots?
and many, many, many, more!
