Neuromorphics: Machines to Life: Massimiliano Versace at TEDxFulbright

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. If an alien watched TV before invading Earth, it would think that the world was full of robots. In reality, today's robots are still too stupid to be let loose. Max Versace is building robot minds by taking inspiration from neuroscience and training them to make them more intelligent, to learn and to get out of our way.



Fulbright from Italy to the US, 2001. CEO and Director, Neurala Inc. and Boston's Neuromorphics Lab, respectively. By studying, and one day replicating, the neural networks that make intelligent creatures (like you) respond and adapt, Max Versace wants to "change the way robots are designed" with the ability to learn.


About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
