Keynote: Making an all-electric sports car | View
JB Straubel, CTO of Tesla Motors
Tesla Motors is a rather rare venrture: a startup car company. Their first car is the sleek, high-performance Roadster. Here Straubel talks about how the car breaks new ground with its powerful electric drivetrain.

Hands-On Aerodynamics: Making Paper Airplanes | View
Ilan Kroo, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
In this class audience members built some high-tech paper airplanes that represent new design concepts, and ended with a fly-off, assisted by a few experts from the Aero/Astro department.

Safer Robots & Haptic Interfaces | View
Oussama Khatib, Professor of Computer Science
For roobots to "escape" the manufacturing plants and become part of our everyday world--in hospitals, offices, homes and construction sites -- they must be safe. Professor Khatib discussed his work to make robots more comfortable to interact with. Meanwhile, student Francois Conti showed off some of the lab's recent work on creating more comfortable "haptic" interfaces for humans interacting with computers.

Robots in the Deep | View
Stephen Rock, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
In 1935 a Navy blimp named the Macon crashed off the coast of Big Sur, taking its wreckage to the bottom of the ocean. Photographing every detail of a debris field the size of two football fields under the ocean isn't easy. Hear Professor Rock's tale of programming a robot to comb the seafloor and bring back pictures of the Macon at last.

3-2-1-BLAST OFF! | View
Aero/Astro PhD students helped attendees build their own water bottle rocket and then let 'em fly!

In Pursuit of the Bicycle Lifestyle | View
Ross Evans, Founder, Xtracycle
Toting your kid to school? Hauling a kayak to the water? Need to blend a smoothie without electric power? Hop on the invention of product design alum Ross Evans. With its sturdy rear platform and roomy saddlebags, the sleek, elongated Xtracycle is more maneuverable than a bicycle trailer, can handle loads of up to 150 pounds, and can generate power.

Second Nature: Robots in Motion | View
Barrett Heyneman, PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering
Some of the most amazing marvels of motion are no farther than your backyard or a local park. Nature has mastered motion. In his talk Heyneman discussed how the gecko inspired his team to make a robot that can climb straight up a smooth surface.
