Robot Talk Episode 43 – Maitreyee Wairagkar
Claire chats with Maitreyee Wairagkar of the University of California about neurotechnology, artificial intelligence and assistive robots.
Maitreyee Wairagkar is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Davis, developing assistive neurotechnology using artificial intelligence to restore lost function in people with neurological disorders. He built a brain-computer interface to enable people with severe motor and speech impairments to communicate directly via their brain signals by breaking barriers between humans and technology. Previously, he was at Imperial College London and the UK Dementia Research Institute where he developed conversational AI and social robots for dementia support.
