THE LIGHT TOUCH For many decades robots have outclassed humans in terms of strength and precision, yet their rudimentary ability to sense and understand the world around them has limited their widespread adoption. But thanks to the work of engineers like Dr. Heba Khamis, the robots are catching up fast. Only three years ago, Dr. Khamis was a lecturer and post-doctoral researcher working at the intersection of sensing, software and robotics. But when she and her colleagues attended a CSIRO accelerator course, it helped them realise the commercial potential of one of the sensors they had been developing, and set them on a path to venture beyond the walls of academia.Heba is now the co-founder and CEO of Contactile - a startup whose a revolutionary sensor design promises to change the way robots feel their environment, opening up applications in sensitive handling tasks from fruit picking to underwater manipulation.Listen in for the very latest from this fast-moving startup.  GUEST : Dr. Heba Khamishttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hebakhamis/ CONTACTILEhttps://contactile.com/ EON LABS : https://www.eonlabs.org/ HOST :Dr. Leo Stevenshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/leostevensinc/ MUSIC :Purple Planet Musichttps://www.purple-planet.comMixed by Dr. Nat Harris

037 - THE LIGHT TOUCH - Dr. Heba Khamis

Joining me today is Dr Heba Khamis, CEO and co-founder of Contactile.  Contactile is a Sydney-based start-up, making tactile sensors that give robots a human sense of touch to enable them to perform difficult material handling tasks. Since 2014, Heba has been developing tactile sensors for robotic gripping that are inspired by the human sense of touch. Heba holds a PhD, B (Software) Engineering and B Medical Science and has been a researcher for over 10 years applying her expertise in biosignal processing, pattern recognition and machine learning to complex biomedical problems including epilepsy, cardiac diseases, malnutrition and human tactile physiology.Heba sends out a monthly newsletter, Robotic Pulse Newsletter, covering all the latest happenings in robotics -  contact Heba at  heba.khamis@contactile.com to subscribe.For any other inquiries, including investment opportunities, contact Heba at heba.khamis@contactile.com

Let's talk robotics with Dr Heba Khamis 

Dr Heba Khamis from Contactile - Giving sense of touch to Robots, we discuss robotics, learn how the hand and fingers work and why its so hard to for a robot to have the same sense of touch and feeling as a human.We talk about how Heba and her team have engineered a solution to provide this sense of touch in a scalable flexible sensor.
