Robot Talk Episode 137 – Getting two-legged robots moving, with Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunbi - Robohub

In episode 137 of the Robot Talk podcast, Claire interviews Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunbi, an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ohio Northern University, about advances in bipedal robots capable of walking and climbing stairs. Dosunmu-Ogunbi’s research centers on control systems for bipedal locomotion and engineering education. Notably, she is the first Black woman to earn a PhD in Robotics from the University of Michigan. During her doctoral studies, she developed the "Biped Bootcamp," a technical document designed to introduce students to bipedal robotics. She is now adapting this material into an undergraduate curriculum aimed at providing both introductory and advanced coursework for junior and senior engineering students. The episode highlights her contributions to robotics education and the challenges involved in getting two-legged robots to move effectively.
