Talk title: Variable Impedance and Its Perceived Function in Soft Bionic Hands. [abstract][talk]
Gentiane Venture is Professor of Robotics with the University of Tokyo and a cross appointed fellow with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology, Japan. Her research focuses on the dynamics of human, robots and the environment. Her group and her work are transdisciplinary to see robotics not as field with applications in certain areas but rather as an art of living together.
