Join us for Generator's new Reckless Ideas speaker series created in collaboration with UVM’s Complex Systems Center. A monthly discourse at the intersection of design and science, this series brings together a diverse mix of Burlington’s top thinkers and innovators who push disciplinary boundaries and embrace big ideas, from autonomous robots, the spread of ideas and viruses, x-ray diffractometry analysis in pipe organs, and the Internet of things. Reckless Ideas is sponsored by the City of Burlington.

01 - Creating Autonomous Yet Safe Robots.

Josh Bongard - Director, Morphology, Evolution & Computation Lab

The robot revolution is upon us: autonomous cars are almost ready to drive our streets, and drones are almost ready to deliver packages right to our doorstep. How do we ensure that these machines are still free to make decisions as they navigate our world but not harm people in the process?
