AMI - interviewed by CNET

[stef_tm]

Our haptics product manager (and company co-founder; yes, he's under 30 and has been here 5 years) interviewed by CNET

Not as fun as the other videos, but a bit more instructive. The little square device he's holding? That's what I'm setting on fire and destroying daily :-)

Your job is to break the actuator?

I want to come and work on this project. Not necessarily breaking things, but...yeah.

(At first glance I thought you'd written "baptist product manager." Baptist products? Hmmm...)

Yes, I run the test group and am responsible for reliability and failure analysis.

My research group in graduate school had this sign of the door of our lab:

Gerberich's Group. We break things.

I guess you have to break them to know what to fix. This technology is really inspiring to my brain. I can feel long-forgotten synapses creaking back to life at the potentialities of artificial muscle.
