Description

Australian native Marita Cheng founded Aubot, a telepresence robot designed for kids with cancer to virtually attend school, and people with a disability to attend work. While attending the Google-funded Singularity University, Cheng cofounded Airpoly, an app that recognizes and relays objects in real-time for the visually impaired. Cheng also founded the non-profit Robogals, an international student-run organization for young women pursuing education and careers in engineering which has taught over 70,000 robotics workshops around the world.
