Curiosity Daily Podcast: Communicating with Cell-Sized Robots (w/ Cornell University) and Uncanny Valley Science
Learn from Cornell University physicists Paul McEuen and Itai Cohen how cell-sized robots actually communicate with each other and move around. Youâll also learn about the âuncanny valleyâ and how scientists figured out what part of your brain gets creeped out by human-like robots.
In this podcast, Cody Gough and Ashley Hamer discuss the following story from Curiosity.com about how scientists pinpointed the part of your brain thatâs creeped out by human-like robots: https://curiosity.im/2SpcbqSÂ
