"what or who is the most amazing robot you've ever met or perhaps had the biggest impact on your career I haven't met her but I grew up with her but of course Rosie so and I think it's because also who..."

"people don't want their robots to be perfect can you elaborate that what do you think that is just like you said Rosie pushed back a little bit every once in a while yeah so I I think it's that so you..."

"vehicles for a second just your thoughts maybe off the top of her head is how hard is that problem do you think based on what we just talked about you know there's a lot of folks in the automotive ind..."

"thoughts of two things so one I don't know if you've gotten to see you've heard about something called smart summon wait what Tesla system part Apollo system where the car drives zero occupancy no dri..."

"I look and see it's learning from all of these people who are cutting it on like every come on it's getting better right and so I think that's what's amazing about it is that this nice dance of you're..."

"that's human that's humans I mean I think of even our use of I mean just everything on the internet right like think about how relying we are on certain apps and certain engines right 20 years ago peo..."

"from robotics perspective you know if you if you're kind of honest of what cars do they they kind of kind of threaten each other's life all the time so cars are very us I mean in order to navigate int..."

"majority I would say of computer science sort of there it's kind of a hot topic now I think about bias and so on but it's and we'll talk about it but usually it's kind of you it's like a very particul..."

"combine those but do you think and this is really interesting it's it's outside I actually have no friends or sort of surgeons or doctors I mean what does it feel like to make a mistake in a surgery a..."

"these are these this is the gray area right cuz you you know that you know teenagers are more likely to be an accident and so there's actually some data to it but then if you take that same example an..."

"say what you just said which is well it's still better yeah and one of the things I I think that we don't get enough credit for just in terms of as developers is that you can now poke at it right so i..."

"unbiased and ethical aspects as long as both sides the developers are willing to say okay I hear you yes we are going to improve and you have other developers are like you know hey AI it's wrong but I..."

"that are going to be at the end of the decision and I don't think as a world as a culture as xiety that we would totally be and this is us like this is some fallacy about us but we need to see that le..."

"one way is I'm going to poke a little bit at some of the corporations right like maybe the corporations when they think about a product they should instead of in addition to hiring these you know bug ..."

"do you have a hope for companies like Twitter and yeah so I think there's a couple of things going on right first off the remember this whole aspect of we are becoming reliant on technology we're also..."

"the end of the day people are good right and why do I say that because any time there's a scenario where people are in danger and I would use I saw Atlanta we had Snowmageddon and people can laugh abo..."

"sense because it brings you back to the platform and their advertisers are driven so they make a lot of money love doesn't sell quite as well in terms of advertisement so you've started your career NA..."

"doesn't continue right if there's some way that it can be brought in and and removed and that's aspect because that's what happened with what how it was like assumptions were wrong it was perfectly co..."

"it and it's just so no offence terrible I've seen a couple of reruns lately it's uh but of course at the time is probably disgusted the imagination especially when you're younger just catch you but wh..."

"NASA for a little bit what do you think maybe if you have other memories but also what do you think is the future of robots in space will mention how but there's incredible robots and NASA's working o..."

"sometimes you don't so how much psychology do you think a topic that's rarely mentioned in robotics but how much the psychology come to play when you're talking about HRI human robot interaction when ..."

"different and then when it's different we have to we try to figure out okay why is it different in this scenario but it's the same in the other scenario right and so we try to do that quite a bit woul..."

"adaptation in the interaction so learning it's the interface it's the learning and so if I think of like I've become much more of a roboticist /ai person then when I like originally again I was about ..."

"so you're a world-class expert researcher in robotics and yet others you know there's a few it's a small but fierce community of people but most of them don't take the journey into the h of HR I into ..."

"sending Rovers to glaciers right but the problems were interesting and the other thing was that they were hard right so it's I like having to go into a room and being like I don't know and then going ..."

"don't believe it at all or a yes yes yes yes and they was miss things right instead when the system gave them multiple choices like here are the three even if it knew like you know it had estimated th..."

"exciting applications of human robot interaction you started a company maybe you can talk about the the exciting efforts there but in general also what other space can robots interact with humans and ..."

"were in education so it's a exciting so young kids and the older folks or just folks of all ages who need to be retrained we need to sort of open themselves up to a whole nother area of work what what..."

"important but a caveat is that I think we'd be ok if we can personalize to the group right and so if I can label you as along some certain dimensions then even though it may not be you specifically I ..."

"education system I have more hope for workforce development and that's because I'm seeing investments even if you look at VC investments in education the majority of it has lately been going to workfo..."

"displace workers like we do know that but there'll be other workers that will be defined new jobs what I worry about is that's not what I worry about like we'll all the jobs go away what I worry about..."

"about is people that build a technology had to be thinking about ethics have to be thinking about access yeah and all those things and not not just a small small subset let me ask some philosophical s..."

"different and in terms of sort of if the system says I'm cautious I'm afraid of death and it does indicate that it loves you another way to sort of phrase I be curious to see what you think do you thi..."

"roboticists used to believe and so this is my and as I said I have a bias lens and my robot friends will understand that yes but so if you think about it and I actually put this in kind of fee as a ro..."

"just the timing it just they're the clock just timed out I think if they had been given a couple more years if they would have been okay but the other ones were still fairly early by the time they got..."

"know it's enough for a dollar because you can't you so hard is it for robots sort of maybe if you look at iRobot the company that makes Roomba vacuum cleaners can you comment on did they find the righ..."

"right and even with if you look at the the Roomba the price point now is different than when it was first released right it was an early adopter price but they found enough people who were willing to ..."

"those first players like they're not in the top five ten no fortune 500 companies right they proved they started to prove out the market they started to get people interested they started the buzz but..."

"and robots in our hearts so if I think about and because I try to follow the the VC kind of space in terms of robotic investments and right now I don't know if they're gonna be successful I don't know..."

"if this is still part of the first batch that I don't know and then you have all these other companies in this self-driving you know space and I don't know if that's a first batch or again a second ba..."

"what which is the dimension of change that's needed so changing of thinking about the ramifications thinking about like the ethics thinking about like the conversation is going on right it's not it's ..."

"be afraid yeah I don't think people should be afraid I think that the return on investment the impact positive impact will outweigh any of the potentially negative impacts do you have worries of exist..."
