Robot Talk Episode 165: Robots behind the research—a conversation with Kushant Patel of Brookhaven National Laboratory

In this episode of the podcast, Claire talks with Kushant Patel of Brookhaven National Laboratory about robots that work in scientific facilities such as particle accelerators. Patel develops software that helps robots and instruments perceive, map, and move through the physical world. He previously taught quadruped robots to map and inspect nuclear materials at UC Berkeley, and now develops control systems for advanced synchrotron light beamlines at Brookhaven.
