I don't get to listen to every episode of Brains Matter, but I made it a point to listen to this episode and I am glad I did.

If you liked Blade Runner or have an interest in the future implications of robotics, you will enjoy this interview.

Adam Parker has a surprising amount of historical knowledge about robotics and he shares it in a clear and engaging style. I imagine he will make a wonderful teacher someday soon.
