A Lesson in Humility

Katy Levinson Talks About What I’m Doing Wrong With Robots

by Susana Polo | 9:38 am, September 11th, 2012


Want to hear an awesome female roboticist talk very frankly about how to improve robots? Wearing a tophat? I mean, so do we, although we didn’t quite have time to watch the whole video. We do know, however, that it contains a valid argument for why robots hate looking in mirrors and should always wear sunglasses, just like Lt. Horatio Caine.

(NSFW for language, throw on some headphones.)

    Holy junk… she is trying to explain sooooo much in so little time! Way awesome stuff! But there’s no way in hell to boil down control engineering into an hour-long panel. XD

    I like her comment about wearing a fancier dress because of the crap she got last year for the dress she wore. Kudos to her for rocking it *lol*

    She’s such a delightful mix of badass woman and sensitive “aww cute” type!

    I’d like to do more control engineering next year, still looking for a good way to make it accessible.
