Robotics narratives: If I only had a brain
UW-Madison Science Narratives and partners have joined together to create a 5-month video and audio adventure, exploring the work of Dr Bilge Mutlu and colleagues as they craft robots from a human perspective. It’s not just science fiction.
Watch Episode 4
In this next episode, UW-Madison roboticists explore what will happen if we teach robots to think.
