101. Be Bold ft. Jeff Zhang

105. He's the reason why your phone auto-rotates.. ft. Shiqi Zhang

#truetalks #podcast #interview #professor #researcher #robotics #AI #artificialintelligence #LLM #GuideDog On this episode of the Truetalks Podcast, we sit down with a very special guest, Professor Shiqi Zhang. Shiqi Zhang is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and a researcher at Binghamton University, who offers a unique perspective on the intersection of robotics and AI. Professor Zhang, who has been working on all kinds of robots for 15 years, discusses his background, including his early work in pattern recognition that led to technology for cell phones to automatically rotate images based on gravity detection. He clarifies a big misconception, explaining that AI is "much more than generative... models," encompassing fields like computer vision, robotics, and natural language processing. We also explore the future of mobile robotics, including advancements in the locomotion of humanoid robots, and his current work on developing a robotic guide dog to serve the blind and visually impaired. The goal of this research is to provide an alternative to biological guide dogs, since training a guide dog can be very expensive, costing about $50,000 in many places or up to $150,000 in New York State, and the graduation rate is low, under 50%. Get ready to rethink your understanding of AI and the transformative work being done in robotics. 🎙️ Truetalks is 100% produced by us.
