ARTIFICIALLY RE-CREATE EVERYDAY EXPERIENCES | ANNA MARIA COCLITE | TEDxGraz

Temperature, shapes, textures are only some of the things that can be felt with the sense of touch. How to recreate the cycle of information from the environment to the skin to an action mediated by the brain? Anna Maria Coclite will talk about how combining physics and chemistry can be used to create artificial skin for robots and humans. Curiosity: it’s Anna’s driving force to pursue new ideas and ambitious projects. Each analysis unfolds one aspect of the story and her passion is putting them altogether to obtain the big picture. She is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Graz University of Technology and landed here after a postdoc of 3 years at the MIT, Boston, in the Chemical Engineering Department and after getting her PhD title at the University of Bari, Italy, in Chemistry. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
