Materials, Systems and Spinoffs for Robots and AI

The hyper-connected environment where humans, smart devices and robots live in synergy together is rapidly being realized within our lifetimes. Flexible, wearable sensors and systems are generating greater amounts of data for AI algorithms to digest. Continued co-development of bio-integrable and even neuro-integrable sensory systems will augment human abilities and aid in applications as health diagnostics, surgery and predictive analytics. A multi-disciplinary approach is essential to digitize almost every aspect of our lives. I will discuss a systems approach to developing flexible electronics towards a view on applications. We envisioned that such materials and technologies can be tremendously useful in distributed conformable electronic skins, neuro-prosthetic devices and robots in the increasingly digitally augmented future.
