Apart from the IEEE/RSJ IROS 2020 (International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems) original series Real Roboticist that we have been featuring in the last weeks, another series of three videos was produced together with Black in Robotics and the support of Toyota Research Institute. In this series, black roboticists give their personal examples of why diversity matters in robotics, showcase their research and explain what made them build a career in robotics.

Here’s a list of all the speakers and organisations who took part in the videos:

  • Ariel Anders – Roboticist at Robust.AI
  • Allison Okamura – Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University
  • Alivia Blount – Data Scientist
  • Anthony Jules – Co-founder and COO at Robust.AI
  • Andra Keay – Robotics Industry Futurist, Managing Director of Silicon Valley Robotics and Core Team Member of Robohub
  • Carlotta A. Berry – Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
  • Donna Auguste – Entrepreneur and Data Scientist
  • Clinton Enwerem – Robotics Trainee from the Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Nigeria (RAIN) team
  • Quentin Sanders – Postdoctoral Research Fellow at North Carolina State University
  • George Okoroafor – Robotics Research Engineer from the Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Nigeria (RAIN) team
  • Tatiana Jean-Louis – Amazon & Robotics Geek
  • Patrick Musau – Graduate Research Assistant at Vanderbilt University
  • Melanie Moses – Professor of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico
