Gerry D’Ascoli<\/h3>\t\t\t

Technical Lead: Voice Subsystem, Electrical System<\/p>\n

Background: Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering<\/p>\n

Gerry graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2018. He worked a year at Leidos and a year at Northrop Grumman before coming to CMU to pursue higher education in Robotics. With this experience, he brings electrical system design, machine\/microcontroller level system and sensor interfacing, and some software engineering skills.<\/p>\n

“For now, we assume that self-evolving robots will learn to mimic human traits, including, eventually, humor. And so, I can’t wait to hear the first joke that one robot tells to another robot.”<\/em> – Lance Morrow<\/p>\n

Gerry hopes to pursue a career in Human-Robot Interaction and Automation to use robots to improve the lives of everyday people.<\/p>\n
