Where kids interview the world's most amazing people. See more at http://www.kidspiration.tv/ ---- Madeline Gannon has her very own robot. It doesn’t walk on two legs or talk to her but it can follow her and “watch” her when she moves around in front of it. Ms. Gannon’s robot is Mimus, a 1,200 kilogram (2,500 pounds) industrial robot with a long moveable arm. Mimus is part of an exhibit at London’s Design Museum. She doesn’t have any preprogrammed moves but waits till someone interesting moves in front of her. Then she comes to see who’s visiting! Ms. Gannon combines design and robotics knowledge with human-computer interaction in her work. She is the head of ATONATON, a research studio that is creating better ways to communicate with machines. She is also developing techniques for digitally designing and making wearables on and around the body. In high school, she visited museums but was more interested in the buildings than the exhibits. “That gave me a hint that architecture was something I wanted to get into,” she told a magazine interviewer. She went to university to study architecture but along the way, decided that interacting with computers was more exciting than designing buildings. I wanted to learn how to talk to this machine so I could do more interesting things with it,” she said. She became obsessed with the big industrial robots like Mimus, turning them from machines that are programmed to build planes and cars on assembly lines to machines that can interact with their human designers. Robots are all around us, Ms. Gannon points out — today we can send a command to turn on the dishwasher from our smart phone. And many wheelchairs have robotic arms to help their users pick up objects and do small tasks in their living spaces. She hopes humans and robots will share our world peacefully and wants to build bigger and better robots in the future. For kids who’d like to do the same thing, she says, “be curious, And don’t ever stop playing!”

Kidspiration - where kids interview the world's most amazing people, in the most inspiring jobs. An interview with Jonathan Gold, food critic for the Los Angeles Times. Would you like a job where you got paid to eat? What if that job meant eating in Thai and Uzbek and Iranian and Salvadoran and Korean restaurants – all in one night? That’s what Jonathan Gold does. He’s a journalist who writes about food and restaurants for the Los Angeles Times newspaper. As the paper’s food critic, Mr. Gold eats meals in restaurants and then tells readers what he thinks of the food and the restaurant itself. Often, he’ll go to a restaurant three to five different times before he decides what he wants to say in his column. What he says about a restaurant and the meals he ate can be very important to that business and to his enthusiastic readers. It’s not an easy job – he usually goes to six or seven places in one night and sometimes, he brings his two kids with him to taste-test. His “territory” is enormous because the greater Los Angeles area includes about 34,000 square miles or almost 88,000 square kilometers! That’s room for a lot of restaurants, and because there are so many, he can review about 300 to 500 different eating places a year. Mr. Gold is really interested in the area’s many immigrant communities and the different ways they prepare food. He’s not just eating at the fancy posh places but also at the small diners, food stands, and tiny rooms where people are cooking their native dishes and creating new variations of traditional meals. “You want these guys to succeed,” he says in City of Gold, a 2015 documentary about his work. He’s happy to make readers as aware of the small one-family restaurants as those fancy and expensive ones. Lots of people across the United States read his food columns. In 2007, he was the first food critic to win the Pulitzer Prize, a prestigious American journalism award. And in City of Gold, people will get to see him as he “discovers the world, one meal at a time.”
