100+ ATTEND ROBOTICS EVENT AT QUALCOMM
THE LATEST IN ROBOTICS: BRAIN-LIKE COMPUTING AND CONNECTED AUTOS
On Oct. 23, 2014, the Harvard Club welcomed over one hundred guests to an event at Qualcomm, “The Latest in Robotics: Brain-Like Computing and Connected Cars.” The featured speaker was Michael Campos, PhD, who studied the biological mechanisms of intelligence and how to translate that into the design of artificial neural networks that could be implemented in machines.
Michael also served as an instructor at Harvard Medical School, where he studied how deep brain stimulation could disrupt pathogenic brain circuits.
Michael presented some of the very latest work at Qualcomm in the field of Robotics, giving his audience an understanding of the meaning of “brain-like computing” as well as introducing the group to the role which Qualcomm is embracing in the field of "Connected Automobiles.”
Prior to Michael’s talk, his colleagues operated half a dozen robots and instructed some of the viewers to take the controls and experiment with robotic directions. The robots, Qualcomm staff, and audience are featured above.
The Stanford Club of San Diego co-sponsored the event, and the audience was comprised of alumni and guests from throughout the Ivy Plus network.
