Professor Sangbae Kim on the Virtual-Physical Divide, Robotic Cheetahs, Physical Intelligence, and Cognitive Bias - Ep 11 Lock The Quill

MIT mechanical engineering professor Sangbae Kim drops by after 2.007 lecture to talk about the virtual / physical divide and his concept of physical intelligence - the  seemingly impenetrable category of subconscious physical tasks and motions that carries so much potential for the future of robotics and physical services.
We talk about his research and his group's shift to the integration of machine learning and model-based control, Moravec's paradox, and a couple of cats.
