A roboticist who works in the areas of artificial intelligence and digital
manufacturing, Hod Lipson designs cool, biologically inspired machines—and he sees a
future where robots are not only autonomous but creative. He and his colleagues
build robots that do what you’d least expect robots to do: Self
replicate, self-reflect, ask questions, and even come up with their own ideas.
At the next
Secret Science Club, Hod Lipson asks: Can robots
ultimately design and make other robots? Can machines be curious? Will
robots ever be truly self-aware? Can they evolve? Dream?
Hod Lipson
is a professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Creative Machines
Lab at Columbia University. His work on robots and
bio-printing has received widespread media coverage in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Time, and on CNN and
NPR. He has co-authored over 200 technical papers, the recent book Fabricated: The New
World of 3D Printing, and the forthcoming book, Driverless: Intelligent Cars and the Road
Ahead.
