I’m really passionate about inventing
better ways to communicate with machines
that can make things for a long time
industrial robots have been the culprit
of automation and replacing human labor
basically all the easy tasks to automate
have been automated now what we’re
working on is using these tools to
enhance or augment human labor and
that’s me is very excited and the stur
robots are really fantastic cnc machines
we put a different tool at the end of
the arm and knobs it and they can do a
whole different thing so in the morning
you can be doing spot welding in the
evening you can do painting it’s just
highly adaptable another thing that I’m
really working towards is finding ways
to bring these machines out of factories
and into live environments so onto
construction sites or onto film sets
there’s chance for unpredictable objects
like people to be moving into the
environment
that’s one of the reasons why I wanted
to build the system to give this robot
eyes so that it could actually see me
and we can safely collaborate in the
shared space if I’m wearing or if I’m
holding these motion capture markers and
it knows where I am in space it knows
how I’m moving in space and all of a
sudden we can give the Machine and
nuanced understanding of our intention
in that space you can get someone who’s
never seen a robot before and have them
begin to do creative things with just a
couple minutes of interacting with the
Machine finding ways to bring in digital
design and fabrication technologists –
that could be monumental if we can
figure out how to do that
it’s really an amazing benefit of being
here in pure night there is physical
space and the mental space to just
experiment and it’s been really
fantastic to have the freedom to
question how we do systems now and push
the boundaries of what’s possible with
robotics
