奥卡拉（Ocala）的人机认知研究所（IHMC）晚间讲座系列，即将在12月9日迎来一位充满正能量的科学家——罗伯特·格里芬（Robert Griffin）博士。这位致力于仿人机器人研究的资深科学家，届时将以“仿人机器人的潜力：从过去、现在到未来”为题，分享他的研究心路与前沿洞察。
格里芬博士的成长经历，完美诠释了动手实践与学术探索的结合。他出生于田纳西州查塔努加（Chattanooga, Tennessee），笑称搬到彭萨科拉（Pensacola）是他首次离开阿巴拉契亚地区。回顾童年，他形容自己是个好学的孩子，但绝非书呆子，他热爱体育运动、武术，并且是童子军（Boy Scouts）的一员。这份早年的经历，塑造了他对建造和探索的热情。由于父母和祖父都是工程师，他很早就立志投身工程领域，因为这能将数学、研究与亲手实践相结合。
他最初在田纳西理工大学获得学士学位，并在弗吉尼亚理工大学获得博士学位，主攻仿人机器人和外骨骼的双足移动控制。虽然大学时期他曾想从事航空航天，但在大四时，机器人学成功地捕获了他的全部热情。
