Justin Werfel (Harvard University), “Bio-inspired intelligence and robotics”

Justin Werfel is a senior research scientist at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, where he works on topics in complex and emergent systems, including swarm robotics, termite behavior, engineered molecular nanosystems, and evolutionary theory. He leads the Designing Emergence Laboratory, and works closely with a number of other collaborating labs.

This talk will take place as part of SCIoI member Mohsen Raoufi’s seminar “Introduction to Collective Robotics: Where Complexity Meets Robotics,” which provides an overview on the topic of collective robotics while exploring key areas like complexity science, network science, and engineering.

This talk will take place in person at SCIoI and will be available as a live stream.
