Here’s the Full Agenda for Xconomy’s Robo Madness Bash on April 10 | Xconomy
Summary
As a special treat, the education panel will be followed by a solo talk by David Mindell, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and of the History of Technology at MIT. Dave already had an extensive background helping to build undersea robots such as the Jason remotely-operated submarine at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, and he went on to write a wonderful book called Digital Apollo, about the computer systems on board the spacecraft that American astronauts flew to the moon. The company is famous for making home robots that help you vacuum, scrub, or mop your floor and clean your gutters or swimming pool. The iRobot co-founder joined us back in 2012 to talk about strategies she’s developed as a leader of Massachusetts’ strong cluster of robotics companies, a topic of obvious interest to her colleagues in Silicon Valley. Continuing with Dave Mindell’s theme of autonomy, we’ll welcome a special guest moderator, New York Times senior writer John Markoff, to the stage.
