On the pod: "Recursive Program Synthesis" with @awsTO, Associate Professor at @WisconsinCS.

How cold-emailing @SumitGulwani at Microsoft Research led to a novel research paper and inside Aws' vision to automatically synthesize the software stack for future quantum computers.

Donors make all the difference.

This year, an anonymous donor enabled four @wacm_uwm officers to attend Harvard's WECode conference and access career-changing opportunities.

First look at the initial draft of the legs that will carry the nation's first student-led, full SOTA humanoid robot! Lots of improvements under way.

Architecture:
FAR Hips
RSU Linkage for ankles

[UW–Madison Computer Sciences @WisconsinCS]

“If we can build the [nation’s] first or second humanoid robot, we'll suddenly have one of the most prepared student bodies in the world to go fill this massive billion dollar market.” — @Wiscohumanoids in the @dailycardinal

[Amy Koike 🌮 @AmyInMadison21]

Thank you so much @WisconsinCS for this beautiful article about me and my robots. I’m deeply grateful for the support from our department, my advisor Bilge, and my lab mates in making my robot design work possible. 🤖👥🫶

[UW–Madison Computer Sciences @WisconsinCS]

Most robots are designed to perform practical, if unglamorous, jobs — but not all.

In the People and Robots Lab, PhD candidate Amy Koike (@AmyInMadison21) designs expressive robots that spark joy and human connection.

[Amy Koike 🌮 @AmyInMadison21]

It is a great pleasure to attend #HRI2016 again! This year, seven papers from the People and Robots Lab will be presented! We are already excited about presenting. Make sure to come to our talks!🥰 Go Badgers!

ICYMI: Professor @sumanbanerjee's new entrepreneurship course is an Epic success.

@HeyEpic Founder/CEO (and alumna) Judy Faulkner stopped by to share the business decisions that made her @Forbes’ “most powerful woman in healthcare.”
