Title:            One Robot for Every Task



Abstract
The digitization of practically everything coupled with the mobile Internet, the automation of knowledge work, and advanced robotics promises a future with democratized use of machines and wide-spread use of robots and customization. However, pervasive use of robots remains a hard problem.   How can we accelerate the creation of robots customized to specific tasks? Where are the gaps that we need to address in order to advance toward a future where robots are common in the world and they help reliably with physical tasks?  In this talk I will discuss recent developments in  customizing robots and describe about how computation can play a role in creating robots more capable of reasoning in the world.  By enabling on-demand creation of robots, we can begin to imagine a world with one robot for every physical task.
