Brain-controlled Teleport

Published: Tuesday, 05 April 2016

QANTAS Ideas that Travel

I was invited to demonstrate my robots on a QANTAS flight from Sydney to San Francisco, while we flew over the Pacific Ocean.  I said yes!  My fellow speakers, organised by TEDxSydney were the amazing data scientist Jeremy Howard, experimental physicist Michael Biercuk and entrepreneur Jo Burston. So chuffed to be part of that line-up!  I demonstrated Jeva the robotic arm, Teleport the telepresence robot and even used my brain to control Teleport!  Check it out below!
