William Red Whittaker,
Fredkin University Professor of Robotics

2009 Alumni Distinguished Achievement Award Lecture

Abstract:
Robots are a great story of technology, enterprise and people. They are changing the way we live, work and expand our experience. They explore other planets, are toys for entertainment, instruments for surgery, and tools for labor and hazardous duty. Dr. Whittaker's presentation will consider how innovation continues to thrive, and how automation continues to move from laboratory to life with its inevitable effects on ourselves, our world and our futures.
