Curated to spark thought-provoking ideas and engaging conversations, Write Science offers the opportunity to meet leading writers in science, technology and art.
In our next session, The Heart and the Chip: Our Bright Future with Robots, leading robotics and computer scientist Daniela Rus, MIT Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics David Mindell, and science writer Gregory Mone explore how we can use a new generation of smart machines to help humankind.
There is a robotics revolution underway. A record 3.1 million robots are working in factories right now, doing everything from assembling computers to packing goods and monitoring air quality and performance. A far greater number of smart machines impact our lives in countless other ways -- improving the precision of surgeons, cleaning our homes, extending our reach to distant worlds -- and we're on the cusp of even more exciting opportunities.
Join The Heart and the Chip authors Daniela Rus and Gregory Mone for a conversation on the interconnected fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The discussion will be moderated by David Mindell.
Copies of The Heart and the Chip will be available for purchase onsite from the MIT Press Bookstore.
