Imagine having a career that is 100 years ahead of your time.  With a life mission of preparing the public for the inevitable future when robots are our partners, companions, and colleagues, Joanne Pransky was also inspired by Isaac Asimov who dubbed her the real-life Robopsychologist Susan Calvin. The World’s First Robotic Psychiatrist shares her 34-year journey and introduces the audience to some of her robotic patients.  Find out about the next evolution of robots and how to stay human in a nonhuman world.
