  • Onward: Building Diversity on American Campuses
    Ohio State University Inspire Podcast Onward: Building diversity on American campuses As college students, they struggled against a system that often made them feel inadequate. Now Ohio State leaders, Ayanna Howard, James Moore and Don Pope-Davis are creating change and showing how everyone benefits from diversity on campus. Materials contained within this podcast are the copyrighted property of The Ohio State University. Robin Chenoweth: Even at age 10 or 12, Ayanna Howard had a reputation as the brainy girl. Ayanna Howard: I knew I wanted to do robotics back in the day, in middle school, because I loved Star Trek, loved science fiction. And I wanted to build a bionic woman. Robin Chenoweth: A bionic woman, a cyborg. Like in the 1970s TV show – with superhuman cybernetic powers — better, stronger, faster. And that kind of described Howard, too, at least academically. Most girls wanted to be Jaime Sommers, who could run 60 miles an hour and crush tennis balls with one hand. Howard wanted to be the scientist in the white lab coat. Ayanna Howard: I grew up in public education, public school system. I was a smart kid, right? The football players would be like, ‘Hey can you help me with my math?’ My identity, I already had a label. I was a smart one, and everyone knew I was going be smart somewhere and go off and do great things. Robin Chenoweth: True to everyone’s expectations, she went to college. But when she got there, something happened to that single-minded confidence she had developed back home in her integrated school in California.

  • Brainy 'Bots Page 1 of 4
    Brainy 'Bots Page 1 of 4 Brainy 'Bots NASA's own "Bionic Woman" is applying artificial intelligence to teach robots how to behave a little more like human explorers. Listen to this story (requires any MP3 Player) May 29, 2001 -- Ayanna Howard may never set foot on Mars or lead a mission to Jupiter, but the work she's doing on "smart" robots will help to revolutionize planetary exploration nonetheless. As a project scientist specializing in artificial intelligence at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Ayanna is part of a team that applies creative energy to a new generation of space missions -- planetary and moon surface explorations led by autonomous robots capable of "thinking" for themselves. Above: It might not look like the android Data from Star Trek, but robotic explorers like this one will someday possess artificial intelligence, which will allow them to scout out terrains without human oversight. Image courtesy JPL. Nearly all of today's robotic space probes are inflexible in how they respond to the challenges they encounter (one notable exception is Deep Space 1, which employs artificial intelligence technologies). They can only perform actions that are explicitly written into their software or radioed from a human controller on Earth. When exploring unfamiliar planets millions of miles from Earth, this "obedient dog" variety of robot requires constant attention from humans. In contrast, the ultimate goal for Ayanna and her colleagues is "putting a robot on Mars and walking away, leaving it to work without direct human interaction." "We want to tell the robot to think about any obstacle it encounters just as an astronaut in the same situation would do," she says.

  • Dr. Ayanna Howard- “An American Roboticist: a Dream Fulfilled”
    Highlights for August 23, 2019 Women In Leadership Dr. Ayanna Howard- “An American Roboticist: A Dream Fulfilled” Chair of the School of Interactive Computing, Endowed Chair in Bioengineering and Director of the Human-Automation Systems Lab at Georgia Tech Summary: A self-described Type A personality and a consummate life-long problem solver, Dr. Howard captivated the WIL audience with her upbeat presentation and her inspiring personal and professional journey (and she’s nowhere near done!) At the age of 18, she got a position as a NASA summer intern near her home in Pasadena, CA, having no idea whether this was accidental or her destiny. As it turned out, NASA became a huge part of her life, especially after she received her PhD in Electrical Engineering at the age of 27. Among her many problem solving contributions, Ayanna’s work in robotics at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory earned her international acclaim along with her SnoMote robots designed to study the impact of global warming on the Antarctic ice shelves. Circumstances at NASA, government funding, as well as broad changes taking place in the world presented Dr. Howard an opportunity to shift her career path and ultimately that led her to Georgia Tech. Clearly she’s continued to take on more roles, more projects, and more responsibilities wearing many “hats” but always looking to work with others to solve problems. In 2013 she founded Zyrobotics focusing on therapy and educational products for children with special needs. Her research interests include human-robot interaction, Artificial Intelligence and much more. The fact that Ayanna would turn her interest to using AI and robotics to help children with disabilities isn’t a stretch or surprise at all.

  • Invited Talk Abstracts
    Invited Talk Abstracts Robotics and Assistive Technologies: Their Emerging Role in Healthcare Ayanna Howard (Georgia Institute of Technology) There are an estimated 150 million children worldwide living with a disability. For many of these children in the US, physical therapy is provided as an intervention mechanism to support the child’s academic, developmental, and functional goals from birth and beyond. Typically, for a phys- ical therapy intervention to be adopted, there must be sufficient evidence-based practices showing the efficacy of the given method in use with the target demographic. With the recent advances in robotics, therapeutic intervention protocols using robots is ideally positioned to make an impact in this domain. Unfortunately, there has not yet been sufficient evidence-based research focused on the use of robots in child-based therapy to result in a full systematic review of this area. As such, in this paper we provide a review of the emerging role of robotics in pediatric therapy, with the goal of summarizing the research that could possibly transition into providing evidence on the efficacy of robotic therapeutic interventions for children. (See the full paper on page 3.) Crossing the Data Science Chasm: The Perception of What Data Science Is and What It Needs to Be David Johnson (Decooda) Businesses acknowledge that the accuracy with which they can understand their customers deter- mines their success (or lack thereof). The challenge is that there are many customers, they have much to say, and they don’t necessarily say it clearly. To complicate matters further, customers ex- perience a wide variety of feelings and attitudes toward the products and services they purchase and use.
