Meet the Board: Danica Kragic

Danica Kragic, ELLIS Board Member and ELLIS Fellow, is a Professor at the School of Computer Science and Communication at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Director of the Centre for Autonomous Systems 🇸🇪, where she leads research at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and machine learning. 

In this episode of Meet the Board, Danica looks ahead to what comes next for robotics in the era of large language models and reasoning systems. She reflects on how embodied intelligence, perception, and decision making must evolve as robots increasingly interact with complex environments and with humans.

Alongside these insights, she takes on our rapid-fire AI questions, offering her perspective on topics ranging from modular vs. end-to-end systems to the balance between predictive power and causal understanding.
