**Free admission + one drink included.** RSVP to attend.
**Machines can answer our questions, write our stories, and even move through the world. But can they think like us?**
Introducing **Cornell on Tap**: a new series bringing Cornell professors out of the lecture hall for an evening of ideas, drinks, and conversation.
We’re kicking things off with **Robert F. Shepherd**, Cornell professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Organic Robotics Lab, to explore **Embodied Intelligence**, the intersection of robotics, biology, and machine intelligence.
What does it mean for a machine to be intelligent? Is its intelligence like ours, or something entirely different? And what might that mean for the way we learn, make decisions, and shape our future?
Share a drink, ask questions, and meet other curious minds. No background in the topic needed. Just bring your curiosity and a friend.
21+ event. Valid ID required.
