Leading robotics and computer scientist Daniela Rus, MIT Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics David Mindell, and science writer Gregory Mone explore how we can use a new generation of smart machines to help humankind.

There is a robotics revolution underway. A record 3.1 million robots are working in factories right now, doing everything from assembling computers to packing goods and monitoring air quality and performance. A far greater number of smart machines impact our lives in countless other ways ―improving the precision of surgeons, cleaning our homes, extending our reach to distant worlds―and we’re on the cusp of even more exciting opportunities.

Join The Heart and the Chip authors Daniela Rus and Gregory Mone for a conversation on the interconnected fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The discussion will be moderated by David Mindell.

Copies of The Heart and the Chip will be available for purchase onsite from the MIT Press Bookstore.

Join us for an engaging talk with MIT Senseable City Lab co-founder Carlo Ratti and Harvard architecture historian Antoine Picon as they discuss their new book Atlas of the Senseable City. Learn how the growth of digital mapping, spurred by sensing technologies, is affecting cities and daily lives. The program will be moderated by Nicholas de Monchaux.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing after the event.

And while at the Museum, don't miss the Mapping the [In]visible installation now on view.
