Giulia talks to Dr Simeon Bamford, a researcher who works on tactile neuromorphic sensors at the Italian Institute of Technology. They talk about creating circuits to perform functions lost to brain damage, Bamford’s involvement with the commercialisation of Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS), and his latest research on robotic touch. Discussion follows with Sunny and Ralph.
