SUMMARY:IntCDC Constructive Conversations // </br>Snake Robots – and How Snake Robotics Research Led to a New Class of Marine Robots
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp;\nWe are very honoured to welcome Kristin Y. Pettersen, Professor in the Department of Engineering Cybernetics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), to our upcoming Constructive Conversations event on Friday, 15&nbsp;September 2023 from 2:00-3:30&nbsp;p.m.\nKristin Y. Pettersen will give a lecture on Snake Robots – and How Snake Robotics Research Led to a New Class of Marine Robots.\n&nbsp;\nThe event will take place in-person.\n\n\n\n\nTitle: &nbsp;&nbsp;\n\n\nSnake Robots – and How Snake Robotics Research Led to a New Class of Marine Robots\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\nKristin Y. PettersenProfessor in the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)\n\n\n\n\nDate:&nbsp; \n\n\n15 September 2023&nbsp;&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp; 2:00-3:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n\nLocation:\n\n\nInstitute for System Dynamics (ISYS), seminar room 1.01 &nbsp; |&nbsp; &nbsp;Waldburgstr. 19, 70563 Stuttgart, University of Stuttgart\n\n\n\n\n&nbsp;\nLecture Abstract\nSnake robots are inspired by the long, slender and flexible bodies of biological snakes, which allow them to move in virtually any environment on land and in water. Since the snake robot is essentially a manipulator arm that can move on its own, it has many exciting applications, including firefighting applications and search and rescue operations. In water, the robot is a highly flexible and dexterous manipulator arm that can swim by itself like a sea snake. This highly flexible, snake-like mechanism has excellent accessibility properties; it can, for instance, access virtually any location on subsea energy installations, move into the confined areas of shipwrecks, inside ice caves, or be used to observe biological systems. Furthermore, the swimming manipulator can not only access narrow openings and confined areas, but it can also carry out highly complex manipulation tasks there, as manipulation is an inherent system capability.\n\nKristin Y. Pettersen\nKristin Y. Pettersen is a Professor in the Department of Engineering Cybernetics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), where she has been a faculty member since 1996. She was head of the department 2011-2013, vice-head of the department 2009-2011, and director of the NTNU ICT Program of Robotics in 2010-2013. In the period 2013-2023, she has been Key Scientist at the CoE Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (NTNU AMOS). She is Adjunct Professor at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). She co-founded the subsea robotics company Eelume AS, where she was CEO in 2015-2016. &nbsp;\n&nbsp;\n&nbsp;
