| THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS This is the fourth and last webinar in 2009 Robotics Series Webinars. Recently, one of the most well-known roboticists in the world Dr. David Barrett, current director of the SCOPE program at Olin College, and former VP of iRobot and director of Disney Imagineering, summed up the three biggest challenges in robotics: Creating better (smaller, lighter, and more powerful) batteries Creating better (smaller, lighter, and more powerful) actuators Addressing the need for an industrial-grade, hardened, and richly supported software development system The final webcast in this series will address the biggest challenge: roboticists need powerful software to design their autonomous systems – software that is not unique to a particular robot or task, is open to incorporate existing algorithms, and is powerful enough to solve problems we do not even understand today. |
