What is fundamentally missing in today’s AI to power physical intelligence? Why are Artificial Neural Networks radically different than the brains? Are we on the right way towards useful robots helping with hard work in our daily lives? To get the answers watch this video now. Yulia had a long way from studying Physics in Belarus to leading a Neuromorphic Computing Group building service robots at ZHAW. On her path, she drew inspiration from neuroscience and cognitive science and developed new mathematical models and conceptual architectures to build controllers for smart robots that can perceive, form memories, make decisions, learn, and control movement in dynamic, real-world environments and tasks. She was named among „30 Women in robotics you need to know about“ by the RobotHub and a „Future Maker” by Business Insider. She is working on a spin-off to enable service robots for elderly care. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
