Maja Mataric

Documentary short film about Robby the Robot; a $125,000 engineering marvel that advanced cinematic robotics and went on to become a film star & pop culture icon in its own right

Seven of today's top scientist/researchers are the subject of this humourous exploration of real people behind the white lab coats; more about what makes the tick than what they have per-se accomplished. Chosen because the subjects are the very best in their particular fields, featured are Gertrude Elion, Ashok Gadgil, Michio Kaku, Maja Materic, Steven Pinker, Karol Sikora and Patricia C. Wright.
