Click, clank, grrrr, hummm— meddling with the symphonies of the mechanical world, our guest for this episode, Prof. Kurien Issac, Senior Professor, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, gives us a peek into the extremely fascinating and intriguing field of kinematics and mechanics.
Throughout his research work so far, Prof. Issac, has made significant contributions in the wide areas of mechanics, robotics, and aerospace, and has even created quite a number of novel mechanisms, ranging from variations of four-legged robots to those of ornithopters. Currently a Senior Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIST, his research directions span the wide arenas of optimization techniques and designs, robotics, mechanism control, humanoids and landing rovers.
Dive in to the conversation, as Prof. Issac takes us along a breezy ride through some very internal understandings of the mechanical world, introducing us to the gears of our fast moving lives that are enabled in many dimensions by the excellence mastered by the researchers and engineers practicing in the field. It was an absolute pleasure to uncover some exceedingly intricate ideas, which Prof. Issac articulates with stellar insights, and inspiring humility, lined with equal amounts of fascination!
Discover our conversation with Prof. Kurien Issac, as we uncover the underlying immensities of the functioning behind our everyday world.
