Title: Building a system for embodied intelligence research

Abstract: Animals, including humans, have intelligence that is embodied -- it resides within a body. Brains evolved to control these bodies, and human intelligence seems to be a side effect of this process. I would like to explore in an interactive way with the audience what characteristics a research system would have that would allow exploration of how embodied intelligence works. This research system would include robots, control systems, programming interfaces, tele-operation, and potentially other useful characteristics.

Bio: Geordie Rose is co-founder and CEO of Kindred (www.kindred.ai), and was the founder of D-Wave (for more details visit gr.ai).
