Second Session of Museum of the Future's ‘Future Talks' Discusses how Humans and Robots can Work Together to Explore Oceans and Space

Dubai, UAE: The Museum of the Future hosted on Friday a special lecture where a leading expert in robotics discussed how unearthing the mysteries of the ocean’s deep through technology will provide answers to some of humankind’s greatest questions, from exploration to climate change.

In the second session of the ‘Future Talks’ series organized by the museum, Professor Oussama Khatib Director of Stanford Robotic Lab at Stanford University, who pioneered the OceanOne humanoid robot, explained: “75% of our planet is covered with water and we know about Mars more than we know about our oceans. Robotics are essential in humanity’s efforts to discover more about environments that are challenging to access but crucial to understanding more about climate change.”
