Dean Kamen is America’s signature inventor: creator of the Segway, pioneer of the portable insulin pump, and hundreds of other breakthrough designs.
To help promote his mission of motivating young Americans towards careers in engineering, Dean agreed to host Dean of Invention – teaming up with journalist Joanne Colan to visit cutting-edge labs around the world.
The result is a glimpse behind the curtain at the technologies that will change how we live tomorrow. The clips below feature the “Aware Chair,” a brain-controlled wheelchair, and Bina, the first robot designed specifically to imitate, and immortalize, the personality of a real person.
Motion from your mind
A robot with a soul
