IEEE Robotics and Automa tion Society. Recorded 22 Jan. 2015. https://ieeetv.ieee.org/history/robot ics-history-narratives-and-networks-oral-histories-ayanna-howard\n\nAyanna Howard: An Interview conducted by Peter Asaro\, IEEE History Center\, 22 January 2015.\n\nInterview # 791 for Indiana University and IEEE Center\, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers\, Inc.\n\nAyanna How ard grew up in Pasadena\, California. She then attended Brown University r eceived her Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering. Howard attended U niversity of Southern California for her doctorate degree where she wrote her thesis on enabling a robot manipulator to sort out waste for hospitals . During and after her time as a graduate student\, Howard worked at NASA ’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) where she became interested in artifi cial intelligence and human-robot interaction. After the space shuttle acc ident at NASA\, Howard left Jet Propulsion Laboratory to join Georgia Tech faculty in 2005. At Georgia Tech\, she spearheaded the organization of Ge orgia Tech’s Ph.D program in robotics and founded Zyrobotics\, a company that utilizes her research in order to develop therapy and educational pr oducts for children with disabilities. Currently\, Howard is professor at Georgia Tech\, in School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and is als o involved with the IEEE and Computing Research Association – Women (CRA -W).\n\nIn this interview\, Ayanna Howard discusses her past and current r esearch\, her interest in integrating robots with humans\, and her collabo ration with children\, NASA\, colleagues and students. She also gives advi ce to prospective students who are interested in robotics and talks about the issue of diversity in field of engineering.\n\nVirtual: https://events .vtools.ieee.org/m/411045 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/411045 ORGANIZER:kit.august@gmail.com SEQUENCE:23 SUMMARY:Ayanna Howard\, PhD Oral History Documentary IEEE Robotics and Auto mation Society.
