MyoChallenge Podcast

The key technology underlying the MyoChallenge and the MyoSuite is the digital twinning methodology. We discuss its transformative impact on healthcare. Hosts Anic van Damme and Steven van Roon delve into the essence of digital twins. They explore the enormous potential and pitfalls of this technology and why the digital twins need to be linked with AI. 
 
This episode features in-depth discussions with experts on Artificial Intelligence Vikash Kumar and Vittorio Caggiano. Together with professor Massimo Sartori they unravel the intricate interplay between AI, digital twins, and neuro-mechanics. 
 
The conversation spans the collaboration between academia and industry giants like Deepmind and Meta AI to achieve physiological AI agents. We discuss the desired realism in biomechanics and the fusion of AI and human benchmarking.
 
The MyoChallenge Podcast brings you the story behind a global competition focussing around 1 simple question: how do humans move? Discover how digital twins can master complex movements in a virtual body. Through in-depth interviews with the founders, you find out how this can enhance future healthcare. 
 
Speakers: 
Massimo Sartori, professor Neuromechanical Engineering at the University of Twente.
Vittorio Caggiano, former AI lead at Meta AI.
Vikash Kumar, adjunct professor Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
 
The University of Twente’s Robotics Centre conducts multidisciplinary research, offers world-class education programs and works with global partners on innovative projects to develop groundbreaking technology that addresses the most challenging questions of today and tomorrow.
