Scientist of the Week

This week Lizzy a 6th grade student in Ms. Moran's class announced our scientist of the week on the WVLK TV news. Our scientist was Manuela Veloso.  This artificial intelligence (AI) researcher from Carnegie Mellon University programs small robot dogs to play soccer in international World Cup competitions. But soccer is not Manuela's real game. Her primary goal (pardon the pun!) is increasing the learning abilities of her robots.
