Reposted from @quotabelle - “Be confident that your difference is what makes your ability to innovate unique.” ~ Ayanna Howard . . Less than 20 percent of engineers are women; only 5 percent are African American. Ayanna is a computer engineering professor and roboticist who is changing the face of STEM. Her own work has been critical to creating the self-directed Mars rover as well as exploring the relationship between humans and robots. In her human-automation lab, she’s busy making what was once sci-fi into reality...equipping our programmable friends with smarts to think and act. Ayanna sees the day ~ in the not-too-distant future~ when personal robots will be as common as cell phones. #BeautifullySaid by #ayannahoward #roboticist #computerscientist #womeninstem #womeninscience #gritandgrace #quotabelle - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bty5brslt-a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1knk7auzvh59p
