For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Assistive tech, preventing injury at work and biomimetics feeding into the design of future robotic systems – listen on to find out more about the robots of the future.

Robotics is a swiftly changing field: Cheaper hardware is making research more accessible, and thanks to advances in AI, the focus is now shifting from feats of physical dexterity achieved by expensive robots, to building ‘general-purpose robot brains’ in the form of neural networks.

Talking these ideas over are Mac MacLachlan, professor of Psychology and Social Inclusion, and co-director of the Assisting Living & Learning Institute at Maynooth University, in Ireland.Arash Ajoudani the director of the Human-RobotInterfaces and Interaction laboratory at the Italian Institute of Technology. And Tim Landgraf, based at the Dahlem Centerfor Machine Learning and Robotics at the Free University of Berlin.
