London Robo-Founder Spars with Hollywood Comic

SEE EVENT DETAILS
On Nov. 9, Sunday Assembly Silicon Valley celebrates "Birthday One" and features its London-based founder and comedian, Sanderson Jones, harnessing telepresence robotics technology to spar with comedian Ian Harris, a Santa Cruz native. Harris is known for his stand-up routines about critical thinking.

Jones will be able to see, hear and move among Assembly members operating an interactive Double Robotics robot. The automaton will allow Jones to bring his iPad face to eye level with participants as they speak with him through microphones.

The celebration includes The Lovely Hearts Club Band, refreshments and children's activities. For more information and parking directions, visit the website or https://www.facebook.com/SundayAssemblySV on Facebook.
