Episode Twenty-Six: Séverin Lemaignan

Robot Talk · 18 Nov 2022 · 29m · Episode 26

What this episode covers

Séverin Lemaignan, Senior Scientist at PAL Robotics, discusses the complexities of social robotics, focusing on socio-cognitive capabilities for robots like PAL TIAGo and PAL ARI. He explains that creating social awareness requires decoding implicit human cues like gaze and body language, which is significantly harder than verbal interaction. Lemaignan also details a study using Pepper robots in a school for autistic children, highlighting the importance of appropriate, non-repetitive behavior and the ethical considerations of robot-human bonding.

    207: I Love My Robot Monkey Head (Repeat)

    Professor Ayanna Howard of Georgia Tech discusses her research on designing robots to interact with children with special needs, focusing on kinematic modeling, emotional expression, and the phenomenon of human-robot trust. She explains how robots like the Nao and Darwin Mini are used to engage users, detailing the technical challenges of creating fluid motion and reactive behaviors. Howard also addresses the 'uncanny valley,' the risks of over-trusting autonomous systems like self-driving cars, and offers advice for hobbyists and students on getting started with robotics platforms like Lego Mindstorms and ROS.

    375: Hiding in Your Roomba

    Brittany Postnikoff (Straithe), a researcher and community manager at Great Scott Gadgets, discusses her master's thesis on robot social engineering and her upcoming PhD research into privacy risks posed by mobile robots in public spaces. She explains how physical robots like Roombas and Knightscope security bots exploit human trust through anthropomorphism and authority to collect sensitive data, often without user consent. Postnikoff also details her role at Great Scott Gadgets, where she manages open-source contributions for hardware tools like the HackRF and the upcoming USB toolkit Luna, emphasizing how hardware sales fund open-source development.
