It's the story of this experimental robot which got electrocuted and found a life.

And I suddenly realized that for a robot both information as well as food were the same thing.

And one day, he came home, when I was about 10 years old, and at the dinner table, he announced that for our next project, we were going to build ... A robot.

So I couldn't wait to get started to work on this, so I could introduce Kevin to my robot.

(Robot noises) (Laughter) But that wasn't the kind of robot my dad had in mind.

And so he needed an industrial robot like this, that could basically do the heavy lifting.

But my dad didn't get the kind of robot he wanted, either.

You see, what the robot we were trying to build was telling him was not about doing the heavy lifting.

And I never forgot the robot that he and I tried to build.

So what I'd like to tell you about are four robot projects, and how they've inspired me to be a better human.

We started playing with this, and that afternoon, we realized that we could use this new, universal interface to allow anyone in the world to operate the robot in our lab.

So, rather than have it fight or do industrial work, we decided to build a planter, put the robot into the center of it, and we called it the Telegarden.

And we had put a camera in the gripper of the hand of the robot, and we wrote some special scripts and software, so that anyone in the world could come in, and by clicking on the screen, they could move the robot around and visit the garden.

That robot was operated by more people than any other robot in history.

He said, "Is the robot real?"

But I knew what he meant, because it would be possible to take a bunch of pictures of flowers in a garden and then, basically, index them in a computer system, such that it would appear that there was a real robot, when there wasn't.

So we started thinking: what if the robot could leave the garden and go out into some other interesting environment?

So, because we were interested more in the system design and the user interface than in the hardware, we decided that, rather than have a robot replace the human to go to the party, we'd have a human replace the robot.

And this is something that's grown out of a system called the da Vinci surgical robot.

And we've been wondering, what if we could program the robot to perform some of these subtasks, and thereby free the surgeon to focus on the more complicated parts of the surgery, and also cut down on the time that the surgery would take if we could get the robot to do them a little bit faster?

Now, it's hard to program a robot to do delicate things like this.

So what we're doing is asking the surgeon to perform the task, and we record the motions of the robot.

We then execute that on the robot, we observe what happens, then we adjust the controls, using a sequence of techniques called iterative learning.

That's the inferred task trajectory, and here's the robot moving at the speed of the human.

And here's the robot operating at 10 times the speed of the human.

So we're able to get a robot to perform a delicate task like a surgical subtask, at 10 times the speed of a human.

Nowadays, high school students can build robots, like the industrial robot my dad and I tried to build.

So when you put another MRI in every corner, you put a robot in every hospital saying that everyone has to have robotic surgery.

They became world champions by making an Arduino-based robot.

And so when we had to make our own educational robot, we just went to them and said, you know, "You design it, because you know exactly what is needed to make a great robot that excites kids."
