Some great Tensegrity Structures research is also being done there by Prof. <a href=\"http:\/\/imac.epfl.ch\/page-56003-en.html\">Ian Smith<\/a> in the Applied Computing and Mechanics Laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>While I gave my talk, Brian Rose, producer of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/LondonRealTV\">London Real TV<\/a>, filmed me and then interviewed me afterwards. You can see the final podcast production below or <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/HbipXymxF8U\">on their site<\/a>! Its fun to finally get some of the ideas on video where it can be shared with a wider audience. One funny thing though, everyone here in Europe seems to jump to the conclusion that I have a PhD and calls me &#8220;Dr. Vytas.&#8221; I keep explaining to folks that I skipped that step and went straight to leading cutting edge research. Anyways, enjoy the show, its been a fun couple days for me!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HbipXymxF8U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I was visiting EPFL, a leading research University in Switzerland, where I gave my presentation &#8220;Dynamic Tensegrities: Foundation for Motion and Thought.&#8221; I was really excited to be talking there at EPFL since there were a number of researchers in the audience for whom I have a lot of respect, such as Prof. [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[44,64,99,43,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bodies","category-brains","category-presentations","category-robotics","category-tensegrity-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pShAo-2s","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicalrobot.org\/BeingHuman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
