Helen Greiner Research Paper

The individual that I have chosen is Ms. Helen Greiner whom is also known as Helen Valerie Davis Grenier, who is also a leading entrepreneur worldwide. Helen Greiner was born in London, England in the year 1967.

From that day on, Helen Greiner vowed to create her own R2D2, which will be a real one based on state of the art technology. Helen then attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which was one of the finest college for science and technology in the world. She perused The Study of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Artificial Intelligence is the computer technology that allows robots to react to situations and gives them some ability to reason.

Helen found herself a job in MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory where she became fast friends with Rodney Brooks (MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Head Person) and Colin Angle as they both were also devoted to the science of
