The WPI Podcast, E11: Climate Robotics | Berk Calli, associate professor, Robotics Engineering | Worcester Polytechnic Institute: https://www.wpi.edu/listen/wpi-podcast/e11-climate-robotics-berk-calli-associate-professor-robotics-engineeringHow can robots help society address climate challenges? Learn more in a new episode of The WPI Podcast. Berk Calli, associate professor of robotics engineering, discusses human-robot collaboration and research projects at WPI and beyond. Robotics are demonstrating increasing potential to address today’s climate challenges. The emerging field of climate robotics is bringing together researchers, industry, and government partners to study and develop technological solutions to challenges that include environmental monitoring, disaster response and mitigation, and climate adaptation. In a new episode of The WPI Podcast, Berk Calli, an associate professor in WPI’s Robotics Engineering Department discusses WPI research projects and educational offerings in this field; the efforts to grow robotic solutions, and the importance of human-robot collaboration. “The role of robots here is scaling up the efforts and enabling new capabilities for humanity to deal with the climate crisis. This has to be a collaborative effort. It is not a competition. Oftentimes, what I see is the best way of implementing these technologies is to identify how humans and robots can truly collaborate together.” – Berk Calli, associate professor of robotics engineering.
