Event Details
Description:
Our society is infatuated with robots. They make our cars, do our dishes, perform surgery on us, explore the outer reaches of space for us, and more. All of the easy tasks that can be automated in a factory setting already have been, and competent teams of bright people are working very hard on automating the harder tasks. Assuming we manage to reach our goal of automating all the drudgery and menial labor out of our lives, what's left? Can we cut manufacturing and utilitarian creation out of our economy and still function as a society? What would a meaningful life look like if every repetitive and dull task was done for us?
This talk is focused on the impact robotics technology could have on society as we currently experience it, and will be formatted as an initial presentation followed by a group discussion of the potential directions the industry could take. It will also include an overview of the advanced robotics research programs Dr. Gill Pratt manages at the Defense Sciences Office of DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), in addition to including a brief overview of previous projects he oversaw in the Biomimetic Robotics Lab at Olin College and the Legged Locomotion Laboratory at MIT.
Light refreshments will be served, and no tickets will be sold at the door.
Host Biography: Gill Pratt, Ph.D.
Dr. Gill Pratt received a doctorate in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT, where he was an associate professor and director of the Legged Locomotion Laboratory. He then proceeded to become a professor and Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs and Research at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, where he was also the director of the Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory. He has recently become a Program Manager in the Defense Sciences Office of DARPA, where his main research interests include novel robotic design and fabrication techniques, new human/machine interfaces that enhance collaboration, and new actuation techniques designed for improving robotic mobility and manipulation.
