Antonia Tzemanaki
is a Senior Lecturer in Robotics at the University of Bristol and a core member of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. She leads the Dexterous Manipulation and Wearable Robotics group which develops robotic simulators and interventions, including robotic needle steering, abdominal, urology, skull and hand models, for surgical and physical therapy treatments of disease including cancers, neurological, prostate and urinary disorders. The group provides wide expertise in precision manipulation, robot hands, hand exoskeletons, kinematics, haptics and wearable robotics, especially with applications in surgery, preventative medicine, rehabilitation, physiotherapy and dexterous tele-operation.

Tom Vercauteren
is a Professor of Interventional Image Computing at King’s College London, where he leads the Contextual Artificial Intelligence for Computer Assisted Interventions research group. His research focuses on medical image computing, machine learning and imaging for surgery and interventional sciences. He is also co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hypervision Surgical, a spin-out company developing safe, non-invasive optical imaging for use during surgery. His work is now used in hundreds of hospitals worldwide. Tom is also a supporter of open-source software and patient involvement.
| Robot Talk Season 6 Draws to a Close | |
This episode marks the end of Robot Talk Season 6. So, I’m going to be taking a well-deserved break over the summer. But the good news is that Robot Talk will be back for a seventh season in September!
Over the summer, I’ll still be posting bonus episodes, behind-the-scenes updates, and upcoming guest announcements over on Patreon. I’ve got some really exciting bonus content coming up, including my tour of the National Robotarium in Edinburgh, and interviews with some of the exhibitors at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Future Lab.
So, make sure you join the Robot Talk community to get access to all that and more!

I asked some of my season 5 and 6 guests to tell me about a fact that is well known in their field of robotics, but that people outside that field find surprising. Their answers touch on technical challenges, societal impact, and even new students' expectations.
