• Surgical Robotics: Is R2D2 in Your Future?.
  "Surgical Robots are here now; they have their roots in Stanford-based research and Silicon Valley development. How do they work? What can they do? Thomas Krummel, MD, [Emile Holman Professor and chair, Department of Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine] addresses the current uses of surgical robotics, the reasons for using them and their role in future medical treatments." Questions from the audience follow the talk. March 23, 2006. (more)
• The Future of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
  Andrew Ng (Stanford University) is building robots to improve the lives of millions. From autonomous helicopters to robotic perception, Ng's research in machine learning and artificial intelligence could result one day in a robot that can clean your house. Control and Perception are the two main problems; machine learning is essential. May 21, 2011. (more)

Note on Playing MP4 Video – Many of the SAIL videos are encoded in MPEG-4. MP4 files are not playable "out of the box" by Windows Media Player. Download K-Lite Codec Pack to enable Windows Media Player to play MP4 files. Alternatively, use an MP4-capable player, like Apple QuickTime and COWON America JetAudio.
