Building Tomorrow’s Robots
Rus, a MacArthur “genius” grant winner in 2002, has gained world recognition for her pioneering work in modular and reconfigurable robots, multi-robot systems, and control algorithms. After her family emigrated to the U.S., she studied computer science and mathematics at the University of Iowa and then pursued her PhD under the famous computer science theorist John Hopcroft at Cornell University. Yet as she developed algorithms to help robots grasp and manipulate objects for her doctoral research, she found that the capabilities of robotic systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s did not match the science fiction visions of her childhood. A big-data initiative rolled out just as she became director in 2012, and she has since launched four more major industry- or government-sponsored initiatives focused on cybersecurity, autonomous vehicles, machine learning, and health care.
