SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Night AI
DESCRIPTION:Panelists: Zara Burzo\, Raphael Fournier\, additional panelists TBD\nModerator: Prof. Rada Mihalcea\nOrganizer: Michigan AI Lab\, in collaboration with the Ann Arbor District Library\nWhen: September 11\, 2026\, 6:30pm – 7:30pm\nWhere: AADL Ann Arbor downtown\, 4th Floor Meeting Room (343 S 5th Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\n\nRobots are among the most challenging automated systems to build because they must operate in the complex and unpredictable physical world. Unlike software-only AI tools\, robots require mechanical design\, component fabrication\, electrical systems\, sensing\, control\, safety\, and programming to work together as a single integrated system. A robot that can navigate a room\, pick up an object\, or respond to a person depends not only on algorithms\, but also on sensors\, motors\, materials\, control systems\, and careful engineering tradeoffs.\n\nWhat does it actually take to build a robot from scratch? How do designers decide what components it should have\, how it should move\, and what kind of intelligence it needs? And when a robot fails\, how do engineers determine whether the problem lies in its hardware\, software\, or overall design? Join us for a conversation with Ann Arbor Public School students about how robots are designed\, built\, and tested\, and why making them work reliably in the real world remains such a difficult challenge.
