Richard Voyles in Robots in Depth #37 Sponsor: Aptomica.com Host: Per Sjöborg

Richard Voyles talks about rescue robotics and advising politicians about robotics. Host: Per Sjöborg, Robots in Depth #37 supported by http://www.aptomica.com

Richard shares how he reacted to the Three Mile Island accident by doing robotics research focused on rescue robotics. He also talks about how robotics has been able to help out in the later nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Fukoshima. We hear about how long different types of equipment last in such extreme environments and the spectrum of work that is being done in the area.

We also learn how things we take for granted are not always true in a rescue situation and that creates a challenge for the sensors used in that environment.

Richard and Per then discuss the role of robotics in the community and the importance of considering it in the political landscape.

This interview was recorded in 2015.
