This MIT Enterprise Forum Satellite Broadcast is a once-in-a-lifetime event featuring three of the best and brightest minds that MIT has to offer!\n\nNothing exists in a vacuum, especially in terms of innovation and new ideas. In today’s business world, it is at this point of convergence where entrepreneurs are developing the ground-breaking companies of tomorrow. \n\nTwo individuals recognized as global leaders in the full potential of when technologies merge are MIT’s Dr. Robert Langer CH'74 and Dr. Rodney Brooks, discussing the intersection of their fields at the next MIT Enterprise Forum Satellite Broadcast, “Innovation at the Interface: Technological Fusion at MIT”.\n\nThe 22nd program in the Enterprise Forum’s Satellite Broadcast Series, “Innovation at the Interface” will take place on Wednesday, January 21, 2004 at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium, and will be moderated by Edward B. Roberts '57, Professor of Management of Technology at the MIT Sloan School. \n\nDr. Langer is a Professor of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at MIT, with over 500 patents issued in his name. In 2002, he won the $500,000 Draper Prize, the “Nobel of Engineering”, and just this month was awarded the $250,000 Heinz Award for Technology, the Economy and Employment and the $75,000 Harvey Prize on the same day. His MIT laboratory is the largest biomedical engineering lab in the world. \n\nDr. Brooks is Director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, a Professor of Computer Science, and Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of iRobot Corp. His research is concerned with both the engineering of intelligent robots to operate in unstructured environments, and with understanding human intelligence through building humanoid robots. Brooks was also featured in the documentary film “Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control”.\n\n\n |
