This presentation was given during the Indiana Academy of Science 136th meeting on Saturday, 3/20/21. It was a hot topic on Black in Robotics and Why Diversity Matters. It discusses multidisciplinary robotics and why diverse teams yield the best solutions to design problems. It also addresses implicit bias in design and how this can be addressed by including more diverse people on the team. It provides some examples of what happens when there is bias in design and recommendations for how it can be resolved. It also highlights the work of Black in Engineering and Black in Robotics, two organizations that seek to amplify the work of Black STEM professionals, advocate for eliminating systemic racism in STEM and connecting with resources and allies.
