Robots have been with us for only half a century, but the idea of man-made mechanisms that can work and think goes back to ancient civilizations. A lecture by Florian Potra, professor of mathematics, will cover this topic and present the most important historical developments in robotics, especially emphasizing its interplay with mathematics.
The lecture will be Thursday, March 4, 6:30 p.m., at the Mathematical Association of America Carriage House (1781 Church Street, NW, Washington, DC).
