Daniel H. Wilson Quotes

I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence.

Robots... I think that is a hot topic.

There are an endless number of things to discover about robotics. A lot of it is just too fantastic for people to believe.

Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.

Robots already perform many functions, from making cars to defusing bombs - or, more menacingly, firing missiles. Children and adults play with toy robots, while vacuum-cleaning robots are sucking up dirt in a growing number of homes and - as evidenced by YouTube videos - entertaining cats.

And Roger was crazy with his robots and everything.

We live in a world where all the parts of a robot are very cheap, yet we don't have a lot of robots. And the thing that has been missing has been good enough Artifical Intelligence.

Virtual reality, all the A.I. work we do, all the robotics work we do - we're as close to realizing science fiction as it gets.

When I look out in the future, I can't imagine a world, 500 years from now, where we don't have robots everywhere.

There is huge demand for artificial intelligence technologies.

Kids are really inspired to not just apply senses to robots and machines, but to try them on themselves.

I had the honor of speaking with Asimov. The album ended up being something not directly related to Asimov, but related instead to the concept of the power of robotics.

Google's founders have had a good eye for imagining what technologies will be significant in the near future. No one asked Google to develop self-driving cars, but it helped them with street views for Google Maps.

If we want to help Google become something meaningfully different in the future, then that's more likely to happen if we focus on the physical world instead.

I have been spending the better part of my professional life trying to create self-driving cars. At Google, I am working with a world-class team of engineers to turn science fiction into reality.

I just want the future to happen faster. I can't imagine the future without robots.

Robots have gotten steadily more capable, but humans' expectations that robots should have minds keeps biting robot developers.

The concept of the robot encapsulates both aspects of technology. On one hand it's cool, it's fun, it's healthy, it's sexy, it's stylish. On the other hand it's terrifying, it's alienating, it's addictive, and it's scary. That has been the subject of much science-fiction literature.
