What’s cooler than land robots? Underwater robots (ice cold!), which Akshaya Agrawal’s PhD research in the Robotics Department focuses on. Her research is indeed cool; developing and testing motion-planning algorithms designed to help teams of robots coordinate movement and perform tasks underwater. But have you ever wondered what’s involved in getting robots to operate underwater? And how exactly does one get to work with underwater robots? Listen in to find the answers to those budding questions, as well as Akshaya’s journey from India to the U.S, …or just to hear cool stuff about cool robots!
