         “With the generous funding from ARCS

         Foundation, I can continue to research
         what would otherwise be cost prohibitive

         technologies and to train the next
         generation of roboticists to meet the

         needs of a society increasingly reliant
         on automation and artificially intelligent

         machines.”
