I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence.

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.

When I turned 18, I lost my best friend to a car accident.

The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate.

Hands-on experience is the best way to learn about all the interdisciplinary aspects of robotics.

As a college student, what really interested me was the human brain and human intelligence.
