Despite the prevalence of computing power, the process of finding natural laws and their corresponding equations has resisted automation. This talk will outline a series of recent research projects\u2014starting with self-reflecting robotic systems and ending with machines that can formulate hypotheses, design experiments, and interpret the results\u2014to discover new scientific laws. We will see examples from psychology to cosmology, from classical physics to modern physics, from big science to small science.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor additional information:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchmidt M., Lipson H.

He directs the Creative Machines Lab, which focuses on novel ways for automatic design, fabrication, and adaptation of virtual and physical machines. He has led work in areas such as evolutionary robotics, multi-material 3D printing, machine self-replication, and programmable self-assembly. Lipson received his Ph.D. from Technion \u2013 Israel Institute of Technology in 1998, and completed postdoctoral appointments at Brandeis University and MIT. His research focuses primarily on biologically inspired approaches, as they bring new ideas to engineering and new engineering insights to biology.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003ECornell University\u2019s\u0026nbsp;Hod Lipson\u0026nbsp;presents \u201cThe Robotic Scientist: Automating Discovery, from Cognitive Robotics to Computational Biology\u201d\u0026nbsp;as part of the IRIM Robotics Seminar Series.\u0026nbsp;The event will be held in the\u0026nbsp;TSRB Auditorium from 12-1 p.m. and is open to the public.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Hod Lipson presents a seminar as part of the IRIM Robotics Seminar Series."}],"uid":"27255","created_gmt":"2015-01-06 15:21:39","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:20:47","author":"Josie Giles","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-03-04T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2015-03-04T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-03-04T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-03-04 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-03-04 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-03-04 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"362531":{"id":"362531","type":"image","title":"Hod Lipson","body":null,"created":"1449245793","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:16:33","changed":"1475895098","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:51:38","alt":"Hod Lipson","file":{"fid":"201592","name":"hodlipson.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hodlipson_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hodlipson_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":50700,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/hodlipson_0.jpg?itok=YAzCbCNa"}}},"media_ids":["362531"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/robotics.gatech.edu\/","title":"Center for Robotics \u0026 Intelligent Machines"},{"url":"http:\/\/lipson.mae.cornell.edu\/","title":"Hod Lipson"}],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"50876","name":"School of Interactive Computing"},{"id":"142761","name":"IRIM"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"81491","name":"Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM)"},{"id":"667","name":"robotics"},{"id":"167194","name":"seminar series"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJosie Giles\u003Cbr \/\u003EIRIM Marketing Communications Mgr.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:josie@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejosie@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
