9:15 Robots Among Us
Examining the impact as advances in AI, robotics, and automation lead to more natural interactions between humans and machines, as we prepare for an era of reliable robots assisting workers across countless global industries.
Robert Wood
Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, Founding Core Faculty Member, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering
Robots Among Us
100 YEARS AGO ROBOT WAS INTRODUCED, fictions: NASA 1990, Robot Selfie taken in Space. Where are the robots?
Lack of people in pictures with Robots, Opportunities:
- Bioinspired robotics
- creation a robotics wiht the behaviour of a bee.
- Manufacturing Options: MEMS
- 3D topologies
- rapid prototyping
the old way – mechanical fine mechanics
Richard Feynman in the 50s – materials @ Harvard Microrobotics Lab:
- Device Operations: Flying microrobots
- RoboBee Flight control
- control of the system is the hard: Modulating Power and Remote Control
- “HAMR” Real Tiem advanced manufacturing techniques of a running robot
- Number of joints and degrees of freedom, 20 legs, High dynamic locomotion (“PronK” at 20Hz)
- Biological control: Jumping Robots
- Jumping of surface of water –
- Origami
- : Folding programmable matter, smart sheets, Self-folding robotic Oragami: FUnctional Devices, folding, laser cut folding pattern
- printed robot: How to fold?
- Manufacturing: complexity: SELF-FOLDING STRUCTURE & FUNCTION – Self-folding machines
- Soft walking robots: Not rigid, continuously folding and swarming, more like human
- Soft jumping robots — slow, more energetics: Explosive Actuators
- 3D Printing Jumping robot: Rigid vs Soft
Jason: Impact in Manufacturing
Robert Wood: Surgical Devices – endoscopes for microsurgery
- Wyss Institute of Biologically Inspired Engineering has a Road Show for STEM Education in School
- Built a robort when he was 5
Questions from the Audience:
- Applications in HealthCare
Robert: small scale Surgical procedures, customizable assist devices, soft robotics, weaving soft robots into fabrics for wearable
Norton Grumman: Computer interface with biological:
Robert: Control insects, muscle cells using manufacturing for Tissues and nano manufacturing
Hod Lipson
Professor of Engineering, Columbia University
Seeking Creative Machines
Machine Creativity: AI can analyzed by using data for decisions, Weather prediction, AI loooks on data that converge
Data analytics: Predict behavior and buy behavior
Cars and Sensors in realtime – To turn or not
INTELLIGENCE as Divergent Thinking: Innovation and creativity
How to foster creativity – thinking out of the box, curiosity
AI : focus on Analysis NOT on Synthesis = Creation of new Staff
Formal process of design is difficult
Inspiration: Human create ideas – hard to understand HOW to innovate
Mother of Creators: EVOLUTION in Nature: divergent, selection, differentiation,
ROBOTICS of TODAY:
- designed by people
- mimic the breeding method Physics Simulator: Create cross creedings and selection of the best performing robots
- Google: Soft robot evolution
- Breed SW – 2D manufacturing
- Random shapes; 3 MILLION OF FORMS created by computer SW from interactions wiht Human, people eliminated paterns and computer learned from these selections
- Creativity in the Arts: Can a Robot paint??? Robort paint 90% better than most human, impressionist comes out the best. Oil on Canvas
- Robot takes away Manual Labor of Human
- Lawyer, MDs – a need to combine the robot and the humans
Interview: by David Rotman @MIT Tech Review
- Impact of Robotics impact on Job distruction
- Develop technologies to improve life yet create more jobs
- what advances in Creative Machines is to be worry about?
Hod Lipson
- within 100 years people will live in an age when Computer will become creative and productive — WHAT will people do if Machines are doing better than Humans?
- AI to make machines more creative: Scale capability od Humans
- focus of AUGMENTATION not REPLACEMENT
- How do we restructure the economy: Wealth, meaning and accomplishment in other spheres than JOBS
From the Audience: Economic Policy to Trickle UP economy
Lipson: Human competition on creativity vs part take in the economy’s opportunities
- solutions needed by Economic Policies
- Self replication occurred if no purpose was given to Robots
10:10 Privacy & Security in the Digital Age
Data is being generated, stored, and utilized in new ways. How should individuals and organizations alike manage the implications of near total transparency?
Christopher Soghoian
Principal Technologist, ACLU
Privacy and Security in the Digital Age
For more than 100 years Telecom allowed Gov’t to spy on Citizens
- Telecom wired networks to ensure Intelligence community with survellience and
- FBI, NSA, Foreign Gov’t, Police
Text message go through Apple, Cook President of Apple: Announced Form of encreption that Apple will not UNLOCK anymore iPhones, NOW end to end encreaption.
- Apple Customers NOW had security for FREE, phone calls, FaceTime, text messaging
- ANDROID: Google can’t HANG OUT is not encreapted — THE POOR is using it it is $100 vs APPLE $800
- WatsUp by Facebook: is encreepted
- Signal for android; is encreapted
JASON: CIVIL RIGHT MATTER
CHRIS SOGHOIAN: FBI tapped Martin Luther KING
- Survellience is too high
- Communication must be secured for Citizenship in Democracies
- Engineering needs to be responsible for Privacy
WHY APPLE A DN GOOGLE ARE SO DIFFERENT
Chris: Google secured the connection
Business model is different:
Google: OPEN and Advertising Charge for data
Apple: Secrecy by Steve Jobs, NOW UNLOCK
