A
A
A
It's
so
amazing
to
have
everyone
here
today,
despite
the
rain,
you
all
brave
the
elements
to
be
here
just
a
few
thank-yous
before
we
begin.
First
of
all,
thank
you
to
Mayor
Walsh
for
opening
up
this
amazing
space
for
Boston's
innovation
and
tech
community
to
Pat
Brophy
and
the
operations
cabinet
for
throwing
this
all
together
and
to
Jackie
lender
for
all
of
the
logistics
that
she
did
and
her
team
Serrano
applause
for
them.
A
A
And
that's
really
what
this
is
about.
Boston,
we
all
know,
is
the
number
one
place
for
innovation
in
the
entire
country,
but
we
don't
do
a
very
good
job
of
publicizing
that
we
don't
have
these
kind
of
events.
We
don't
celebrate
the
innovation
in
our
city
as
much
as
we
should.
So.
The
point
of
the
courtyard
festival
is
to
have
these
conversations
and
for
everyone
to
talk
about
the
amazing
diversity
of
Technology
and
innovation.
A
That's
happening
in
our
city,
so
thank
you
again
for
everyone
coming,
especially
the
community
here
who
has
joined
us
to
see
all
these
incredible
speakers
tonight
and
without
further
ado.
We
have
two
very
special
guests
to
start
us
in
conversation,
the
first
one
you
know
very
well
mayor
Walsh,
who
has
been
the
incredible
leader
of
the
city
over
the
past
three
and
a
half
years,
and
the
second
is
a
legend
all
around
the
world.
Tim
Wakefield's,
with
his
amazing
knuckleball.
A
His
amazing
skill
had
19
seasons
in
Major,
League,
Baseball,
World,
Series
champions
with
the
Boston
Red
Sox
and
is
more
importantly
than
all
of
that,
an
incredible
community
leader
for
Boston.
He
stuck
around
and
we're
very,
very
lucky
to
have
both
of
them
here
to
talk
about
what
it's
like
to
put
together
a
winning
team.
So
without
further
ado
mayor
Walsh
can
wake
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
The
end
how's
everyone
doing
tonight,
I
have
a
pretty
awesome
job
tonight,
because
I
was
not
always
the
Mayor
of
the
City
of
Boston
and
in
2002
2003
2004
I
had
a
chance
to
watch
this
man
play
baseball
and
go
from
2003
I.
B
So
I
guess
like
to
ask
you
just
a
couple
questions
about
your
experience
in
baseball
and
then
from
2002
three
and
four
and
those
of
you
that
don't
know
what
happened
to
3
&
4
2002,
the
Red
Sox
didn't
make
the
playoffs
2003
the
Red
Sox
were
we're
almost
in
the
World
Series
and
2004.
They
just
did
it
all.
So
it.
D
C
It's
it
starts
with
leadership.
Obviously
your
leader,
the
city
and
and
with
the
baseball,
is
it
starts
with
our
manager
and
our
general
manager
to
put
together
the
right
kind
of
championship
team.
That's
going
to
succeed
and
bring
a
World
Series
title
to
the
city
of
Boston,
so
2002
Grady
little
was
the
first
day,
but
the
team
was
sold
that
year.
Actually,
so
we
didn't
know
who
the
manager,
the
manager
of
the
year
before
was
Joe
Kerrigan,
who
was
the
pitching
coach
that,
when
Jimmy
got
fired
halfway,
was.
C
And
then
Larry,
Tom
and
John
bought
the
team
that
spring
and
gravy
little
was
hired
in
2002.
The
team
had
already
been
put
together.
Obviously
we
didn't
make
the
postseason
that
year
and
it
was
you
know
you
always
strive
in
spring
training-
that
your
our
goal
is
to
win
win
the
World
Series,
but
it
takes.
C
It
takes
all
25
guys
actually
more
than
that,
because
during
the
course
of
years,
somebody's
going
to
get
hurt,
you're
going
to
call
somebody
up
in
Pawtucket
that
person's
got
to
fit
into
the
puzzle
the
right
way
at
the
right
time-
and
you
know-
2003-
comes
along
it's
Grady's
second
year.
We
take
it
all
the
way
to
to
the
end.
It's
obviously
I
was
the
guy
that
wasn't.
C
Have
to
say
that,
but
I
felt
that
that
year
our
team
really
came
together.
Our
pitching
staff,
the
starting
staff,
was
really
well.
Our
bullpen
was
really
well
offensively.
We
were
rural
and
defensively
I.
Think
you
have
to
click
on
all
four
cylinders
for
you
to
be
successful.
Obviously
the
one
pitch
there
and
boom
Homer
that
I
can
talk
about
now.
I
didn't
want
to
talk
about
it,
then
that
was
probably
the
most
difficult
time
as
I
thought.
C
B
C
B
Now
so
let
me
just
just
try
and
say
this
in
on
a
baseball
team.
Obviously
talent
is
important,
but
is
it?
Is
it
talent
or
is
the
chemistry?
What
do
you
think
is
more
important
for
a
winning
team,
I.
C
Think
chemistry
is
more
important
in
my
point
of
view.
You
can
spend
all
the
money
you
want
to
spend
to
get
the
talented
guys,
but
in
my
opinion
it
only
takes
one
bad
apple
and
that
team
that
will
ruin
the
whole
atmosphere
of
all
25
of
us
in
that
Clubhouse
and
I've
been
on
a
lot
of
teams
where
it
was
one
guy
or
it
could
have
been
a
couple
guys
or
it
could
have
been
the
manager.
The
dissension
between
the
players
and
management
sometimes
can
ruin
a
team
as
well.
C
I
know
that
happened
in
2001
when
Jimmy
Williams
got
fired,
Joe
Kerrigan
took
over
and
all
the
rules
that
we
had
been
running.
The
team
by
all
sudden
got
changed
and
there
was
a
huge
dissension
between
us
as
players
and
him
as
a
manager
that
we
went
from
four
or
five
games
out
of
first
place
to
20
games
out
of
first
place
by
the
end
of
the
season
so
on.
In
my
opinion,
at
chemistry
is
the
most
important
part
of
being
successful.
Just.
B
C
I
was
in
the
dugout
talking
to
Mara
belly
and
a
couple
other
guys,
and
so
we
got
a.
We
got
a
saver
bullpen
for
tomorrow.
I
mean
this
thing's,
not
over.
Yet
so
I
volunteered
to
pitch
Derek
Lowe
was
going
to
take
my
start
in
Game
four
get
to
the
part.
I
think
we
got
rained
out.
We
had
an
extra
day
to
rest
get
to
the
park
the
next
day
and
all
I
can
remember,
is
Millar
and
Tito.
C
Had
this
such
such
a
great
attitude
like
don't
let
us
win
tonight
and
that's
kind
of
the
motto
that
we
had
going
for
is
like:
okay,
we're
tired
of
you.
Kicking
our
ass,
we're
not
going
to
take
it
anymore.
Don't
let
us
win
tonight,
because
if
we
win
tonight
we're
going
to
beat
you
tomorrow
and
if
we
beat
you
tomorrow
we're
going
to
be
to
Game
six
and
if
we
be
in
game
six,
it's
over
with
and
that's
kind
of
the
attitude
that
we
had
and
those
games.
Four
and
five
were
were
so
long.
C
The
extra
innings
David,
the
heroics
in
Game,
four
heroics
in
Game
five,
the
momentum
switched
for
us
immediately
and
I
could
feel
ourselves
like
even
before
that,
like
we,
we
were
all
pulling
from
the
same
rope.
There
was
one
thing:
I
know:
Grady
little
preached
upon
Terry
Francona
preached
upon
is,
we
all
have
to
same,
have
to
have
the
same
goal
and
I
think
that's
the
right
formula
for
businesses
to
is
like
everybody,
all
the
employees
or
whoever
you
might
have
you
got
to
be
on
the
same
page.
C
B
My
role,
sir
I,
think
so,
as
we
think
about,
and
we
look
out
the
crowd
here
today-
a
lot
of
Millennials,
a
lot
of
young
people,
some
people,
my
age,
older
people
like
us,
looking
at
retirement
down
the
road
a
couple
years
from
now,
I
guess
what
what
what
message?
Would
you
say
as
far
as
once
a
message,
I'm
gonna
put
you
in
the
right,
giving
you
the
right
question
by
comparing
baseball
just
to
tell
life
I
guess
what
would
you
give
a
message
to
young
people
as
far
as
comparing
the
two?
C
Baseball
was
a
business
I,
take
pride
in
your
job,
no
matter
how
big
or
how
small
it
is
because
it's
it's
still
important,
like
in
baseball.
The
utility
guy
was
just
as
important
as
the
ace
of
the
staff
or
the
biggest
hitter,
and
that
guy
was
just
as
important
of
the
team
winning.
So
you
can't
look
at
you
go
into
a
job
and
you
refresh
out
of
college
and
you
and
you
get
this
great
job,
but
yet
you
feel
like
you're
in
the
bottom
rung.
C
You
know
it's
you're
still
important
to
that
company
or
that
business
being
successful.
So
don't
ever
think
that
you're
not
important
and
don't
let
in
baseball.
For
me
and
the
thing
that
I
talk
to
kids
about
is
don't
let
don't
let
anybody
ever
tell
you.
You
can't
do
something
you
know
coming
out
of
college
or
your
professors
or
your
first
boss.
They
don't
let
anybody
ever
discourage
you
from
doing
well
at
what
you
love
to
do.
I.
B
Tell
people
a
lot
when
I'm
talking
to
people,
you
might
have
your
mind,
set
on
one
aspect
of
work
and
something
might
come
into
your
life
that
takes
you
down
a
whole
different
path
and
you're
doing
a
different
job
in
a
different
area.
Doing
something
different
and
I
think
something
like
that
happened
to
you.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
upstairs.
He
talked
about
when
you
came
into
the
league.
You
were
second
basemen.
First.
C
C
C
I
was
going
to
be
this
super
star
power
hitting
first
baseman
hitting
30
homers
and
driving
in
100
runs
every
year,
but
my
reality
was
quickly
taken
back
when
I
was
barely
hitting
over
200
and
happened
to
be
goofing
around
throwing
a
knuckleball
with
another
position,
player
and
my
manager
at
the
time
in
the
minor
leagues,
walk
behind
me
said:
wow,
that's
pretty
good.
You
think
you
can
throw
that
for
a
strike.
I
said
well,
I,
pitched
it
in
high
school.
How
hard
can
it
be?
C
The
organization
had
their
meetings
about
a
month
later,
where
they
go
through
every
single
player
and
they
get
to
my
name
and
everybody
else
is
saying
now.
If
you
sit
in
a
buck,
89
he's
not
worth
anything.
So,
let's
release
him
and
the
manager
that
walked
behind
me
said
before
we
let
him
go.
I
saw
something
pretty
special
in
his
kid.
Why
don't
want
to
bring
him
into
instruction
league
and
convert
him
into
a
knuckleball
pitcher
and
two
and
a
half
years
later,
I
was
in
the
big
leagues,
with
the
Pirates.
C
And
to
do
add
on
to
what
you're
saying
even
in
our
sport
in
baseball,
you
know
you
may
want
to
play
for
a
certain
team,
but
there's
you
know,
there's
30
teams
in
the
league,
there's
29
other
teams
that
are
watching
you
all
the
time
and
I.
Don't
know
if
that
relates
to
business
or
not,
if
you're
good,
at
what
you
do.
If
you
don't
get
along
with
where
you
work,
I'm
sure,
there's
somebody
else
that
will
allow.
B
You
to
oh,
you
are
what
we
do
it
here.
I
mean
we
rise
when,
when
I
bump
into
somebody
in
the
private
sector
and
I,
see
that
there's
something
in
that
person,
I'll
try
and
see
like
how
do
we
get
to
that
person
and
get
them
to
come
work
for
the
City
of
Boston,
because
it
is
important
to
make
sure
you
get
some
talent.
B
We
have
some
Street
workers
that
are
here
right
now
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
street
workers
today,
but
I
see
a
lot
of
those
guys
that
will
be
tomorrow,
they'll
be
in
different
roles
of
leadership
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
it's
again
it's
about
picking
and
there's
other
people
here
as
well.
I
could
go
into
a
couple
other
folks.
B
Let
me
ask
you
one
more
question
about
supports
and
you
see
in
politics:
I
got
into
the
business
20
years
ago,
and
people
will
say:
oh
when
I
was
in
the
House
of
Representatives
a
lot
different
where
we
were
more
more
camaraderie
and
we
will
kind
of
support
each
other
and
I
hear
that
a
little
bit
in
sports.
What
do
you
think
is
the
biggest
difference
of
sports
athletes
in
then
stars
from
20
years
ago,
when
you
got
in
the
business
to
who
they
are
today
and
moving
forward
I.
C
Think
this
it's
the
same,
you
know
it
was
like
in
the
70s
you
talk
about
the
the
Red
Sox
or
25
guys
at
25
Cavs
right,
it's
totally
different.
Now,
especially
when
I
played
when
I
came
up,
it
was
there's
a
lot
of
camaraderie
going
on
I
know
us
is,
you
know,
there's
a
little
bit
of
separation
between
pictures
and
position
players.
C
We
tried
to
get
that
together,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
us
pitching
on
the
pitching
staff
would
try
to
go
to
lunch
every
when
we're
on
the
road
we
call
each
other
say:
hey.
Lunch
is
at
1:00
o'clock
today,
whoever
wants
to
come
come
and
we
we'd,
you
know,
share
stories
or
talk
to
the
younger
players
and
the
veterans
I
would
try
to
give
as
much
leadership,
but
that
camaraderie
camaraderie
is
very
important
to
the
success
of
our
team
and
watching
these
young
kids
play
I.
Think
they
all
came.
C
You
know
bets
Bogaerts,
LBJ
BJ.
You
know
they
played
together
for
such
a
long
period
of
time,
I
think
again
you're
starting
to
see
how
well
they
played
together.
You
know
Pedroia
is
now
the
veteran
of
the
club
when
he
was
younger.
You
know
we
tried
to
include
him
as
a
veteran
gave
him
a
hard
time
a
little
bit,
but
you
know
was
a
part,
a
part
of
the
part
of
the
process
so.
C
B
B
I
know
why
I'm
fighting
with
the
ambulance
I
see
a
fire
engine.
You
know
I
know
it's
great
for
agencies
great
for
the
players
to
move
on
sometimes
with
the
fans
aside,
yeah,
but
but
does
it
can
it
break
up
that
team?
Look
in
it?
It.
C
Can
obviously,
when,
when
a
player
gets
to
that
point
of
free
agency
and
beyond
the
value
of
that
player,
dictates
whether
the
club
will
hang
on
to
him
or
not
whether
they
want
to
rebuild
that
they
want
to
make
a
change
if
it's,
if
the
equation
is
working,
which
I
think
it
has
been
for
the
Red
Sox
for
a
number
of
years,
I
think
those
you'll
see,
especially
this
team,
now
I
think
you'll
see
these
guys
play
together
for
a
long
period
of
time,
just
like
no.4.
We
had
that
core
group
of
guys.
C
C
B
B
C
C
But
if
the
winds
long
too
hard,
especially
in
my
face
like
it
wasn't
Texas
the
wind
would
blow
in
from
the
outfield,
it
was
that
it
wasn't
like
a
complete
circle,
but
the
wind
would
blow
in
over
center
field
and
hit
the
stands
behind
home
plate
and
just
rush
right
in
my
face
and
I
had
the
most
difficult
time
throwing
strikes
there.
I
mean
I
had
violent
movement
on
it,
but
it
was
hard
to
throw
strikes,
I
hated
going
there
plus
it
was
105
in
August
and
it
was
like
it's
it.
It
was
brutal.
C
How
did
I
well
my
career
decision
from
going
from
a
position
player
to
a
knuckleballer?
Wasn't
my
decision?
It
was
they
decided
for
me
and
I'm
glad
they
did,
but
my
decision
to
retire,
that
was
a
difficult
one.
You
know
I
felt
like
I
was
I
still
had
a
couple
years,
even
though
I
was
44
or
45
when
I
retired.
It
basically
came
down
to
my
family
I.
C
It
took
me
a
couple
months
to
make
the
decision.
I
was
offered
a
chance
to
come
to
spring
training
as
a
minor-league
free
agent
and
tried
to
make
the
club
out
of
spring
training
and
I
was
determined
to
do
that
and
then
I
started.
Thinking
about
you
know,
let
me
get
my
family
involved,
so
my
kids
at
the
time
were
6
and
8
I.
Think
so.
I
sat
him
down
my
wife
and
I
sat
in
both
down
and
and
I
laid
it
all
on
the
table.
C
C
They
both
looked
at
each
other,
like
you
want
to
tell
him
or
you
want
me
to,
and
they
said
daddy,
we
want
you
to
stay
home
and
immediately
I
felt,
like
a
thousand
pounds
were
lifted
off
my
shoulder
and
it
made
the
decision
that
much
easier,
it's
great
son,
every
one
of
them.
The
question,
if
you
didn't
hear
who
was
a
toughest
hitter
I
ever
faced,
I
always
told
every
one
of
them.
C
I
mean
I,
never
took
anybody
for
granted,
but
there
was
a
couple
guys
that
that
owned
me
that
you
know
they
were
my
daddy
I.
Guess
this
Pedro
used
to
say
the
Yankees
are
my
daddy
Aaron
Rowand
from
Chicago,
White,
Sox
and
Magglio
ordóñez
I,
don't
know
what
it
was.
I
just
couldn't
get
to
go,
I
couldn't
get
them
out,
it's
hoping
to
walk
them.
Yes,
sir.
C
Yeah
Tech,
not
we
were
just
talking
about
this
earlier
you're,
going
to
hear
from
these
guys
innovative
innovative.
You
know
sports
stuff,
I,
think
technology
is
heading
in
that
direction.
Where
it's
going
to
help
the
game.
One
I'd
like
to
see
it
sped
up
I.
You
know
it
was
hard
for
me
to
sit
on
the
bench
and
watch
the
game
when
I
was
a
player
that
lasted
three
hours,
but
I
was
just
talking
to
the
mayor
and
Mother's
Day
four
and
a
half
hour
game
that
had
no
delays.
C
No
rain
delays
is
a
nine-inning
four-and-a-half
hour
game.
I.
Think
technology
will
help
that
I
think
the
density
replay
is
good
for
the
game,
but
I
think
it
slows
it
down
a
little
bit.
I'd
like
to
see
him
revamp
that
I'd
like
to
see
a
strike
zone,
be
more
consistent
with
technology
and
I.
Think
the
umpires
would
be
up
for
that.
You
know
all
the
officials
throughout
all
sports
the
whole
platform
of
major
sports
in
in
this
country
and
in
Europe
and
other
places.
C
If
I
hadn't
become
a
baseball
player,
what
would
have
done
it's
a
great
question?
My
grandfather
was
in
the
Air.
Force
and
I
grew
up,
loving
airplanes
and
wanted
to
learn
how
to
fly
actually
went
to
college
that
had
a
huge
aeronautical,
Aeronautics
school,
our
Aviation
School,
sorry,
fi
t--
huge
aviation,
but
my
scholarship
wouldn't
pay
for
my
flight
time
so
and
I
couldn't
afford
to
learn
how
to
fly,
but
I
always
wanted
to
be
a
fighter
pilot.
C

Boston
has
a
global
reputation
for
technology
innovation.
It
is
also
unabashedly
the
home
of
dozens
of
professional
and
collegiate
national
championships.
The
sports
innovation
lab
is
a
new
company
launched
here
in
Boston,
designed
to
bring
together
sports
and
technology
innovation
on
a
global
scale,
with
clients
like
Intel,
Google,
Verizon
and
IBM.
The
company
is
off
to
a
great
start.
Please
welcome
the
sports
innovation,
lab
founders,
Isaiah
Kasavin,
Ski,
Angela,
Rogerio
and
Josh
Walker.
G
Awesome,
thank
you
very
much
and
what
a
perfect
segue
we're
going
to
thank
the
mayor
for
having
us.
Obviously,
we
got
a
chance
to
talk
to
Tim
in
the
room
above
about
how
technology
is
changing
the
world
of
sport
and
we're
here
to
tell
you
about
company
we
launched
just
back
in
January,
called
the
sports
innovation
lab.
We
are
located
right
around
the
corner,
but
it's
not
about
us
we're
here
actually
to
talk
about
the
city.
There's
something
missing
from
this
graphic
and
I
know.
G
Many
of
you
are
too
far
away
to
see
what's
on
it,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
bubbles
and
those
bubbles
are
what
people
that
size
markets
are
talk
about
cities
or
talk
about
how
innovation
is
changing.
The
world
called
clusters
and
there's
clusters
of
innovation
happening
in
technology
all
around
Massachusetts,
and
for
those
of
you
can't
see
this,
it
says
clean
energy.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
clean
energy
companies
here
in
Boston
and
so
there's
a
cluster
of
them
that
are
sharing
ideas
in
innovating,
there's
another
one
that
says
advanced,
manufacturing
and
design.
G
If
you
know
what's
going
on
over
the
dry
dock,
there's
all
these
different
companies
that
are
coming
together
to
innovate
in
that
area,
but
we're
here
tonight
to
talk
to
you
about.
What's
missing
from
this
and
that's
sports
technology,
we
are
a
city
that
has
sports
at
the
core
of
everything
we
have
championship
teams
we
have
universities,
we've
got
some
of
the
best
and
brightest
minds
in
engineering
and
technology
across
the
city.
G
H
I
Who
are
we,
and
why
are
we
here
today?
We
think
this
is
a
great
hometown
dream
team.
If
you
will
we,
we
love
the
city
of
Boston
and,
as
the
mayor
and
Tim
talked
about
before,
it's
all
about
the
people.
Boston
is
a
city
of
people,
and
so
we've
come
together.
Isiah
Kaczynski
went
to
Harvard.
We
actually
use
the
hockey
stick.
Security
guard
for
my
hockey
team
back
at
Harvard
played
eight
years
of
NFL.
So
if
you
guys
are
football
fans
in
the
crowd,
hence
the
size
over
there.
I
Here,
entrepreneur
and
investor
in
Sports,
Tech
really
love
this
sector.
Josh
here
puts
the
smaht
and
smaht
he's
a
former
vice
president
of
a
market
major
market
research
firm
and
has
launched
several
venture
back
firms,
myself
I'm
a
four-time
Olympian
in
ice
hockey.
So
you
guys
ice
hockey,
fans
all
right,
I
hope,
go
Bruins
and
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
the
International,
Olympic
Committee,
different
sports
administration
boards
and
teams,
and
really
understand
the
power
of
sport.
As
a
platform,
you
can
tell
any
story:
through
sport,
sport
talks
about
what's
possible
with
people.
I
So
what
we're
trying
to
do?
What's
our
mission,
we
want
to
accelerate
innovation
across
sports
through
leading
market
research
and
insight
from
industry
experts.
So
what
does
that
mean?
It
means
literally
gathering
the
experts,
both
from
the
company
perspective,
from
the
the
individual
perspective
and
on
a
global
scale
and
in
harboring
that
energy
and
that
that
passion
and
those
people
here
in
Boston.
So
we
want
to
actually
drive
innovation
in
a
market.
It
actually,
as
Josh
pointed
out,
isn't
on
this.
G
So
one
of
the
things
that's
really
important
to
realize-
and
they
mentioned
this
when
they
introduced
us
is
some
of
our
clients
are
the
largest
tech
companies
in
the
world
and
they
want
to
come
here
and
they
want
to
come
here,
because
this
is
a
city
that
knows
sport,
but
this
is
a
city
that
also
has
New
Balance
converse
Reba.
This
is
the
city
that
has
MIT
Harvard
engineers
that
understand
how
to
transform
the
stadium
experience.
G
So
when
you
look
at
the
world
that
we're
trying
to
bring
together
in
this
cluster
right,
the
sports
technology,
innovation
cluster,
it
touches
everything.
It's
everything
from
brands
like
Gatorade
to
agencies
like
octagon
and
Wasserman
and
CAA
that
are
marketers
around
telling
sports
stories
all
of
these
different
types
of
companies,
even
the
private
equity
and
venture
capital
firms
that
are
here
trying
to
invest
in
the
next
generation
of
sports
technology.
G
H
I
mean
the
areas
after
you
do
inventory
about
sports
technology
and
what
exists
broadly
across
the
board.
You
start
to
think
of
it
different
way
and
as
we
did,
that
we've
looked
at
over
2000
companies
globally,
organize
them
across
30
different
segments.
You
start
to
see
where
that
technology
and
the
resources
clustered
towards-
and
these
are
five
examples
of
ones
that
really
cut
to
a
lot
of
these
cut
to
the
heart
of
really
the
fiber
of
what
bossboss
is
built
on.
H
The
different
ways
to
capture
that
actual
physiology
itself
is
going
to
be
important
to
drive
that
smart
venue
really
think
of
a
connected
stadium
and
all
the
different
technology
stacks
that
exist
really
as
many
cities
right,
smart
venue
as
an
extension
of
smart
city
and
an
Internet
of
Things.
If
you
guys
have
heard
the
term
precision
medicine
as
well,
even
in
kind
of
a
deeper
way,
which
is
this
way
of
customizing
medicine
or
treatments
for
you,
specifically,
each
of
us
as
individual
people-
that's
really
going
to
be
met
before
that
by
precision
nutrition.
H
The
ability
to
give
your
body
when
it
needs,
as
you
optimize
different
pieces
you
can
go
on
and
on,
and
the
ability
here
also
to
take
a
look
at
eSports.
It's
really
at
the
cusp
of
really
becoming
a
sport
and
intersecting
with
traditional
sports,
as
we
know
it
as
well,
really
making
boss
in
the
hub
for
that
as
well.
I
So
what
are
we
trying
to
build
again?
There's
the
the
research
is
amazing.
The
amount
of
companies
that
are
popping
up,
we've
heard
of
so
many
amazing
companies
in
Boston,
creating
Sports
Technology
trying
to
solve
sports
problems
that
again
have
an
application
to
health
or
have
up
a
location
to
a
city,
and
so
we're
doing
is
aggregating
that,
on
a
global
basis,
really
trying
to
understand
the
trends,
not
just
here
in
Boston,
not
just
in
America
but
globally,
and
identifying
clusters
right.
I
What
you
see
on
the
map
here,
we're
actually
identifying
stadiums
globally
and
creating
indexes
innovation
indexes
across
that
sector.
So
you
can
imagine
us
really
trying
to
define
the
space
on
Global
basis
and
to
push
what's
possible
through
knowledge,
and
that's
what
Boston
does
so
well,
that's
why
I'm
really
excited
again.
Why
are
we
doing
this?
Why
are
we
here?
We
do
tech.
Well,
we
obviously
do
sports.
Well,
we
love
sports,
but
we
also
have
the
power
of
knowledge.
I
Here
we
have
so
many
great
young
students
as
already
creating
these
wonderful
companies,
but
we
can
harness
those
clusters
is
Josh
laid
out
to
us.
That's
what
Boston
is
and-
and
we
love
this
city-
we're
so
excited
to
be
here
today-
we're
excited
to
hear
what
some
of
the
other
speakers
have,
but
this
is
about
defining
Boston
in
a
new
way,
creating
a
really
a
brand
new
way
to
use
sports
as
the
platform
and
use
Boston
the
platform
to
show
what's
possible
and
I.
G
Think
we
just
want
to
end
by
echoing
what
the
mayor
said,
which
is
that
Boston
doesn't
do
a
good
enough
job
of
talking
about
how
good
a
job
we're
doing
and
one
of
the
things
that
strikes
us
all.
The
time
is
that
a
number
of
our
clients
send
their
smartest
and
brightest
people
out
to
the
west
coast
to
try
to
learn
about
innovation
and
technology
when
they
should
be
staying
here.
J
Hi
hi
everybody
thanks
to
the
city
for
having
me
here.
I
want
to
go
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
mobility,
and
why
is
it
important
in
cities
and
specifically
talk
about
super
pedestrian?
It's
a
company
and
it
was
founded
as
a
spin
out
of
the
sensible
city
lab
at
MIT
that
I,
founded
and
I
run
today
with
a
team
of
50
something
people.
It's
focused
on
robotics
for
mobility,
so
I'll
say
a
few
words
about
why
mobility
is
important
and
why
robotics
can
help
us
make
some
significant
headway
there.
J
So
cities
cities
have
been
a
locus
of
attraction
for
millennia.
It's
not
new.
The
idea
of
smart
cities.
Cities
have
always
been
smart
and
they
always
were
sort
of
the
engines
attracted
people
to
become
creative,
more
productive,
more
resilient
together
right.
That's!
Why
that's
why
they
have
existed
for
so
long
and
they're
growing
at
an
unprecedented
rate
today
right.
This
is
just
a
random
example.
You
know
what's
happening
to
cities
around
the
world.
Most
of
the
world
is
moving
into
cities.
This
is
one
of
the
more
modest
predictions
today.
The
word
is
the
world.
J
Is
a
54%
urbanized
we're?
Looking
at
being
at
two-thirds
urbanized
by
2050,
but
at
the
same
time,
global
population
is
growing,
so
estimates
say
that
will
have
the
same
number
of
people
living
in
cities
by
2050
as
we
do
on
the
entire
planet
today.
So
that's
all
urbanization
now,
at
the
same
time
we're
seeing
big
changes
in
technology
which
are
changing
the
space
of
cities.
It's
important
to
think
about
these.
In
the
context
of
the
challenge
that
cities
face.
J
Cities
cover
2
percent
of
the
earth's
inhabitable
crust,
ok,
so
very
little
land
area,
they
consume
66
percent
of
the
energy
cities
and
their
infrastructures.
They
emit
75%
of
co2
or
co2
equivalent
and
they
produce
80
percent
of
the
world's
GDP.
Ok.
So
if
you
think
about
this,
the
challenges
of
the
planet
have
almost
merged
with
the
challenges
of
cities,
but
they're
so
concentrated.
But
if
you
can
do
something
about
cities,
it's
a
great
way
to
impact
the
planet
as
a
whole.
J
So
the
sensible
city
lab
we've
been
sort
of
looking
at
this
and
asking
well.
What
can
we
do
to
improve
livability
in
cities
to
solve
some
of
the
more
pressing
issues
they
face
and
really
banking
on
a
major
change?
That's
happening.
We
all
understand
carrying
a
very
powerful
computers
in
our
pocket
right.
What
more
powerful
than
what
carried
Apollo
to
the
moon?
People
can
talk
to
people
anywhere.
People
can
talk
to
machines
and
I
can
talk
back
to
people.
Your
average
car
is
instrumented
with
hundreds
of
sensors,
so
machines
can
talk
to
cars.
J
Can
talk
to
infrastructure.
You
can
slap
one
of
those.
This
is
a
standard,
machine-to-machine
modem
on
almost
anything,
and
it
goes
online
right.
So
all
of
a
sudden
we're
looking
at
an
environment
which
is
interconnected,
but
it's
not
just
about
information
right.
The
robotics
is
also
becoming
sort
of
an
everyday
part
of
our
life
right.
It's
proliferating
the
age.
Oh,
the
age-old
dream
of
humanoid
robots
is
becoming
a
reality.
Robots
are
all
over
manufacturing.
We've
seen
those
images
in
many
different
places
throughout
the
world.
A
self-driving
car
is
a
robot.
J
For
all
intents
and
purposes,
right,
it's
got
vision,
it's
got
some
logic
learning
and
it's
actuated
and
and
more
and
more
so,
robots
blend
with
the
human
body
are
these
ideas
of
human
enhancing
technologies?
The
idea
that
a
robot
can
somehow
augment
the
human
body
and
make
us
enhanced
more
powerful
or
more
resilient
or
be
able
to
regain
a
capacity.
We
lost
that's
becoming
a
reality
today,
as
well,
so
think
about
this,
as
you
know,
forget
about
smart
cities
or
Internet
of
Things.
J
These
are
a
little
bit
limited
jargon
and
try
to
imagine
the
web
as
a
virtual
environment.
That's
merging
itself
for
the
physical
world,
so
digital
and
physical
are
becoming
one
thing,
and
that
opens
the
door
to
doing
dramatically
new
things
and
specifically
in
cities.
It
really
enables
us
to
think
differently
about
big
problems.
Access
to
jobs,
access
to
education,
clean
water,
clean
air
transportation
is
a
major
one,
so
super
Riaan
was
founded
to
really
focus
on.
J
Oh
no
typo,
there
was
a
typo
there
before
thanks
for
fixing
it
for
me,
focus
on
the
transportation
slice
of
this
problem.
Now
we
all
get
the
problem
of
transportation
because
we
all
stand
in
traffic.
We
realize
what
the
impact
it
has
on
our
on
our
well
being
beyond
the
impact
on
the
planet,
beyond
the
impact
of
the
economy,
which
are
huge,
it
has
a
obvious
impact
on
everyone's
well-being,
the
quality
of
how
we
move
around
right.
J
So
we've
we've
changed
our
cities
since
the
introduction
of
the
automobile
about
130
years
ago,
cities
stretched
and
stretched
right,
and
it's
become
so
prevalent
that
it's
a
global
problem.
This
is
a
picture
from
Beijing
before
that
I
think
it
was
Phoenix
Arizona.
Everybody
is
stuck
in
traffic.
Look
at
what's
happening
to
demand
for
urban
mobility
as
a
result
of
the
growth
in
cities
right.
These
are
again
some
of
the
more
modest
predictions
and
we're
looking
at
2.6
X
increase
in
demand
for
urban
mobility
by
2050.
J
So
imagine
two
and
a
half
times
more
people
moving
through
the
road
you
know,
and
already
today
we
have
cities
that
are
dysfunctional
from
from
a
transportation
perspective.
Think
about
it.
Another
way
we
need
to
have
two
and
a
half
times
more
capacity
on
the
roads
just
to
keep
traffic
as
bad
as
it
is
today.
That's
an
awful
place
to
start.
J
J
Look
at
here
this
is
Germany
right
car
country.
This
is
over
overall
miles.
Traveled
per
car,
irrespective
of
urban
or
suburban,
in
decline
straight
since
1990
and
the
rest
of
Europe
follows
right,
so
people
are
sort
of
given
up
on
the
idea
of
a
car
slowly.
This
is
to
me,
maybe
the
more
interesting
one.
That's
driver's
license
acquisition,
United
States,
look
at
this
one.
That's
18
year
olds
in
1984,
1983,
sorry,
82%
of
18
year
olds
had
a
driver's
license.
J
2014,
it's
58%,
it's
some
puppet
major
drop
right,
so
you
can
think
about
it.
Kids
today
think
about
cars
as
we
do
about
washing
machines.
That's
not
it's!
Not!
It's
not
anymore
sort
of
a
sign
of
your
identity
or
something
necessarily
cool.
To
put
it
another
way.
If
I
came
to
MIT
tomorrow
in
a
Ferrari,
people
would
think
I
have
a
problem
and
that's
a
major
you
know
it's
the
emotional
plane
there
has
eroded
all
right.
So
what
else
can
we
do
we
started?
J
Looking
around
super
pedestrians
mission
is
to
focus
on
one
and
two-person
transportation.
The
average
occupancy
in
a
car
today
is
1.55
people
self-driving
cars.
Their
premise
is
all
about
sharing
a
vehicle
as
a
mode
of
public
transportation,
but
the
missing
link
is,
we
don't
have
good
vehicles
for
one
and
two
people
that
will
allow
us
to
traverse
those
large
distances.
So
we
started
looking
around
it
said.
Ok,
a
bike
has
been
experiencing
Renaissance
these
days.
A
ridership
is
on
the
rise.
That's
the
United
States.
J
The
overall
numbers
are
still
small,
but
look
at
look
at
the
trend.
It's
very
it's
significant
right.
This
is
a
bike
sharing
system
and
system
in
Hangzhou
China,
the
largest
in
the
world,
but
they're
proliferating
all
throughout
the
world.
But
there's
one
problem
with
the
bike.
Since
we
introduced
the
bike,
the
average
city
grew
by
more
more
than
20
times
in
land
area.
Okay,
so
this
is
London
going
from
here
before
the
introduction
of
the
car
to
there
in
the
1960s
major
explosion.
J
Basically
the
distances
between
where
we
live
and
where
we
work
and
where
we
hang
out
have
grown
so
large
that
most
of
us
cannot
cover
them
without
motorized
transport.
It's
just
a
fact:
that's
how
we
build
our
environment,
so
motorized
transport
is
is
here
to
stay.
The
question
is:
what
form
is
it
going
to
take,
so
we
partnered
back
then
with
the
mayor
of
Copenhagen.
J
That
was
a
project
that
was
done
at
the
lab
at
MIT
and
asked
well,
how
can
we
use
the
bike
as
a
compelling
alternative
to
driving
when
we
started
doing
some
research?
Copenhagen
was
a
car
city
and
they
implemented
a
whole
bunch
of
policy
measures
and
it
became
that
we're.
You
know.
52%
of
trips
are
done
by
bike
in
the
city.
It's
a
we'll
think
about
it
in
a
city
Metro,
but
once
we
dug
deeper
into
this,
we
realize
that
it
has
limitations
at
15
kilometers,
which
is
around
nine
miles.
J
Ridership
just
drops
it
drops
before,
but
there
it
really
almost
disappeared
hills
which
don't
really
exist
there,
but
we
studied
up
many
other
places
are
a
big
inhibitor
to
cycling.
So
we
thought
we
were
smart.
We
said
you
know
what
let's
motorized
the
bike
then
realize
that
it's
no
super
old
idea
invented
in
the
1890s
and
that
it's
a
major
it's
a
huge
market.
It's
growing
double
digits,
especially
in
Europe
1.3
million
units
sold
in
2014.
J
J
The
idea
is
to
really
increase
dramatically
the
quality
of
what
it
is
to
have
a
powered
bicycle.
Can
we
move
to
the
next
one?
Please
great?
So
when
you
pedal
sensors
inside
characterized
very
delicately?
What
you'd?
What
you're
doing
with
with
your
legs,
the
most
fine
motions
and
then
system
learns
and
imitates
you.
It
imitates
you
so
fast
that
you
think
you're
doing
all
the
work
but
in
fact,
you're
becoming
about
10
times
stronger,
often
much
more
all
right.
J
So
it's
a
it's
a
learning
algorithm
in
there,
but
the
uses
sensor
data
and
tells
the
motor
what
to
do.
Then.
You
can
collect
information
from
here
and
from
the
environment
share
it
with
other
cyclists.
You
can
build
apps
on
top
of
this,
so
it's
really
becoming
a
platform
now,
if
you're
sort
of
the
competitive
type-
and
you
can
think
of
this-
almost
as
a
legal
performance
enhancer
and
let's
show
the
last
video-
this
is
a
just
an
image
taken
from
somebody
riding
the
wheel.
J
So
on
the
on
the
right,
that's
a
smartphone
app
that
controls
it
on
the
bottom
is
data
you
can
get
about
your
body
and
how
it
functions
and
at
the
same
time
there
are
hundreds
of
data
points
every
second
that
are
collected
about
the
system
itself,
to
make
it
safe
and
reliable.
So
there's
a
self
diagnostic
and
self
monitoring
system,
that's
running
there.
That
makes
it
a
highly
reliable
unit.
J
Now,
if
you,
if
you
want
to
think
about
this
in
sort
of
as
a
as
a
provocation
for
how
a
future
city
might
look
once
we
claim
much
more
of
that
space
used
by
big
vehicles
today
for
people
to
use
it
in
other
ways,
maybe
maybe
this
is
what
we'll
be
looking
at
I'll
end
here.
If
you
want
to
try
out
our
product,
it's
called
the
Copenhagen
wheel.
We
have
them
outside.
You
can
ride
them,
it's
kind
of
a
trip
to
try
it.
J
You
really
think
you
stole
all
of
Lance,
Armstrong's,
dope
and
and
also
you
can
you're
welcome
to
come
by
super
pedestrian,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
robotics
engineers,
doing
interesting
stuff
for
one
and
two-person
mobility
and
that
level
of
talent
really
can
only
be
found
in
Boston
people
who
use
robotics
to
amplify
the
power
of
the
human
body.
So
it's
very
unique
to
here
and
that's
why
we're
here
and
very
happy
to
be
operating
out
of
Boston
thanks
everybody.
L
All
right
good
evening,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
to
celebrate
innovation
in
Boston
with
you
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
social
robotics
in
Boston,
but
I
also
want
to
talk
about
more
broadly
AI
and
robotics
in
in
this
area.
So
you
know,
looking
back
the
sprung
button,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
success
already
in
robotics
and
AI
back
in
2002,
we
saw
the
launch
of
Roomba,
which
is
arguably
the
most
successful
consumer
robot
in
the
home.
L
We've
seen
the
success
of
the
smartphone
revolution
and
the
power
of
developer
ecosystems
and
platforms
to
be
able
to
populate
our
devices
with
a
whole
plethora
of
abilities
and
apps
and
services,
and
now,
for
the
first
time,
we're
starting
to
live
with
AI
in
a
far
more
ambient
ubiquitous
way
than
ever
before.
Children.
People
of
all
ages
are
starting
to
interact
with
AI
on
a
daily
basis,
and
so
what?
Why
is
this
interesting?
L
Well,
of
course,
because
all
of
these
things
are
converging
as
technology
tends
to
do,
and
this
is
what's
making
a
technology
like
personal
robots
like
geebo
social
robots
possible.
So
Gebo
is
a
company
here
in
Boston,
it's
been
up
from
the
MIT
Media
Lab
my
work,
research
from
the
personal
robots
group,
and
it's
really
a
new
product
category
and
more
than
being
a
new
product,
it's
actually
presenting
a
very
different
vision
for
our
relationship
with
technology.
L
L
A
E
E
L
E
D
L
Phone
and,
of
course,
if
you
can
prove
you,
might
as
well
dance
right,
I've
already
seen
a
lot
of
interest
and
music
in
the
home
you
know
can
take
that
to
a
whole
new
level.
So
again,
this
is
just
kind
of
a
little
smorgasbord
of
little
skills.
We
call
them
that
you
can
expect
to
see
on
Jibo.
Let
me
go
back
one
more,
but
again
it's
really
about
a
new
relationship
with
technology.
L
So
when
we
think
about
AI
and
robotics
today
we
have
images
like
this
right,
so
we
certainly
have
technologies
that
are
personal,
but
almost
to
the
point
of
creating
digital
cocoons
around
ourselves.
That
demands
such
attention
that
we
almost
shut
other
people
out
when
we
use
them.
We
talk
about
the
power
of
intelligent
technologies
to
make
them
autonomous
to
be
able
to
do
tasks
independently
of
people
and
now,
of
course,
we
have
important
dialogues
about
AI
and
concerns
about
replacing
jobs
right.
L
We
have
products
like
Alexa,
which
are
no-touch
technologies,
to
add
a
lot
of
convenience,
but
are
very
transactional.
When
you
talk
about
how
we
interact
with
them,
they
feel
rather
cold
and
they
almost
treat
us
like
we're
technology
and
when
you
think
about
how
a
lot
of
people
and
companies
view
the
value
of
AI
and
robotics
a
lot
of
it
is
very
tasks.
Centered,
it's
really
about
getting
a
job
done,
but
where
is
the
role
of
the
people
experience
the
people
around
that
so
again,
Gebo
is
also
about.
L
What
does
it
mean
to
create
a
technology?
That's
socially
intelligent
and
responsive
emotionally
intelligent,
responsible,
treat
you
like
a
person
and
to
be
able
support
you
not
only
in
your
kind
of
cognitive
aspects,
but
your
social
emotional
as
well,
and
then
again
thinking
about
not
just
task
centered
but
really
human
centered
robots.
L
And
when
you
do
that
thinking
about
the
new
kinds
of
applications,
we
didn't
tell
it
machines
beyond
manufacturing
beyond
things
like
you
know,
bomb
disclose
on
so
forth
to
really
thinking
about
these
very
intimate
areas
of
quality
of
life
like
health
care,
education
and
elder
care.
These
are
areas
we
have
a
huge
care
gap
projected
that
if
technology
such
as
this
could
make
a
tremendous
difference.
L
So
what
does
this
matter?
A
lot
of
the
research
I've
done
with
MIT
has
basically
shown
that
if
you
can
create
technologies
that
actually
support
a
more
holistic
human
experience
across
all
of
these
dimensions,
people
are
actually
more
successful
with
those
technologies,
so
just
from
human
human
interaction.
We
already
know
that
the
better
the
relationship
between
a
student
and
a
teacher,
the
better
the
learning
outcome,
the
better
the
relationship
between
the
patient
and
the
doctor,
the
better
the
health
outcomes,
turns
out.
It's
the
same
with
technology,
so
building
technology
to
support
us
in
these
capacities.
L
It's
becoming
increasingly
important,
as
we
think
about
how
AI
and
robotics
can
potentially
have
augment
and
support
us
and
all
the
challenges
we
face.
So
there's
a
new
path
now
to
think
about
mass
consumer
robots.
We
talked
about
Roomba
back
in
2002,
these
kind
of
single
purpose,
very
kind
of
a
niche
sort
of
products.
L
That
would
you
say
one
thing
like
vacuum:
we've
seen
products
on
this
emotional
dimension
for
entertainment,
right
as
time
has
gone
on,
we
see
more
intelligent,
add
still
in
this
kind
of
utilitarian
things
like
drones
and
so
forth,
and
moving
up
towards
more
sophisticated
robots
like
to
Vinci
Surgical
systems.
But
these
robots
really
view
their
major
kind
of
value
proposition
as
doing
physical
work.
L
When
you
think
about
it's
really
thinking
about
robots
as
a
labor
device,
geebo
is
taking
a
very
different
position,
saying
that
maybe
the
actual
killer
or
capability
is
about
this
form
of
humanized
engagement
and
bringing
content
to
life
in
a
whole
new
way
and
building
it
on
the
idea
of
a
platform
of
it.
A
developer
ecosystem,
like
we've
done
with
our
smartphones
and
in
this
way
now
for
the
first
time
a
personal
robot
in
your
home.
L
Not
just
can
do
one
thing
like
before,
but
potentially
many
many
many
things
powered
by
the
ingenue
and
creativity
of
people
worldwide.
So
that's
the
Jibo
vision
when
we
think
about
excitement
and
robotics
we've
seen
a
lot
more
investment
happening
in
robotics
and
in
New
England.
So
again,
there's
kind
of
a
zeitgeist
out
there
that
the
next
age
of
intelligent
technologies
are
not
just
about
being
an
agent
on
your
smartphone,
but
physically
in
stanton
stan
shaded
technologies.
L
When
we
think
about
why
Boston,
why
is
this
the
place
where
this
sort
of
revolution
might
happen?
Well,
when
you
think
back
to
it,
the
fields
of
AI
and
the
fields
of
robotics
were
actually
created
here.
In
New
England
New
England
is
the
birthplace
of
these
areas,
and
we've
maintained
a
very
strong
foothold
in
his
areas.
Ever
since
we
have
a
truly
unique
intellectual
ecosystem
of
truly
world-class
universities
like
Harvard
MIT,
but
also
you
know
further
away
Brown,
you
know
I,
it's
an
amazing
amount
of
innovation
in
basic
science
and
technology.
L
That
is
spinning
out
these
highly
innovative
companies
in
robotics
and
IAI
in
the
Boston
area,
and
it
is
the
birthplace
of
social
robotics.
So
this
is
actually
a
picture
of
me
with
kismet.
This
was
taken
almost
20
years
ago.
Kismet
is
now
in
the
MIT
Museum,
but
of
course
it
makes
sense
that
a
company
like
giba
would
be
here
in
Boston,
because
this
is
where
the
whole
field
and
the
concept
was
created,
but
beyond
GEVO
and
social
robotics.
L
Again,
if
you
look
at
a
number
of
very
successful
AI
and
robotics
companies,
many
of
them
came
out
of
these
university
labs
and
there
in
many
different
sectors,
from
warehouse
logistics
to
again
applications
in
in
agriculture
and
manufacturing
in
health.
In
many
many
many
different
areas,
and
it's
not
just
these
companies
driving
innovation
in
these
different
markets
and
sectors.
We've
also
been
world
leaders
in
creating
new
technologies
and
ways
of
educating
not
just
university
age
but
k12
as
well.
L
So
when
you
think
about
the
power
of
scratch,
invented
at
the
Media
Lab,
15
million
children
worldwide
learn
how
to
program
using
scratch.
When
you
think
about
the
success
of
the
first
robotics
competition
being
came
in,
it's
really
quite
extraordinary.
That's
the
breadth
and
the
depth
that
we
have
devoted
in
the
Boston
area
to
the
a
and
robotics
scene,
and
of
course
it
continues
to
attract
amazing,
high-tech
talent,
and
it
continues
to
make
fosston
really
the
epicenter
were
eyes
all
across
the
world.
L
Look
to
us
look
to
Boston
to
see
where
the
next
stage
of
innovation
is
going
to
be
in
these
areas
of
building
intelligent
machines
and
technologies
around
intelligent
machines,
even
for
the
case
of
G
Bo.
You
know
when
we
started
this
company
in
2012.
Social
robotics
was
really
just
an
academic
term,
but
in
2014,
when
we
launched
her
indiegogo
crowdfunding
campaign,
you
see
a
boost.
If
you
do
a
search
on
AdWords
on
Google,
suddenly
social
robotics
entered
the
mainstream
dialog.
L
It
became
a
term
that
topped
to
your
press
and
Wall
Street
Journal
New
York
Times,
you
name,
it
would
all
start
to
use.
So
it's
bringing
attention
these
new
areas
of
innovation
to
the
Boston
area
and
a
company
like
chibok,
not
just
satisfied
in
trying
to
Train
roboticists
and
AI
people.
We
want
to
create
tools
such
that
app
developers.
You
know,
programmers
in
general
can
now
come
into
the
world
of
social
robotics,
come
in
the
world
of
robotics
and
AI,
and
create
an
entirely
new
creative
experiences
on
platforms
like
Jibo.
L
So
you
know
again,
this
is
about
a
new
vision
of
technology,
a
new
relationship
with
technology
when
you
think
about
kind
of
how
it's
grown
over
time
from
the
PCs
and
the
internet
supports
that.
The
story
has
largely
been
about
the
democratization
of
says
to
information
and
networks.
But
when
you
think
about
a
lot
of
the
biggest
challenges
we
face
right
now,
areas
like
in
the
global
aging
crisis
that
care
gaps
in
health
care
when
we
think
about
even
areas
like
education,
where
not
every
child
can
have
the
advantage
of
a
personal
tutor.
L
We
know
that
high-touch
engagement,
that
relationships
really
matter
for
the
best
human
outcomes.
You
need
the
right
kind
of
technology
to
help
support
us
not
only
in
our
institutions
but
in
the
home,
and
social
robotics
is
one
of
those
kinds
of
technologies.
So
the
vision
is
really
for.
Seeing
is
one
of
technology
now
not
just
as
a
tool,
but
as
a
helpful
companion
that
could
lead
to
the
democratization
of
access
to
this
more
humanistic,
personal
service,
that's
scalable
and
affordable,
highly
personalized.
L
This
is
about
creating
intelligent
machines
that
really
work
in
deep
partnership
with
people
right
now,
when
you
hear
the
public
discourse
again
around
the
fear
of
how
these
technologies
are
going
to
replace
jobs
or
place
people
in
their
jobs,
Boston
is
really
against
this
very
innovative
stronghold
and
really
thinking
quite
differently
about
this
in
terms
of
how
deep
races
machines
that
can
forge
a
very
close
partnership
to
augment
and
expand
our
human
capabilities
with
these
technologies,
so
I
win
there.
Thank
you.
K
K
You
know
our
journey
started
where
we're
local
guys
I'm
a
boss
tonight
through
and
through,
but
really
what
what
we've
done
to
freight
farms
in
our
mission
really
is
to
empower
anyone
to
grow
fresh
food
regardless
of
their
background,
regardless
of
the
location
you
know
in
Boston
was
a
great
sort
of
testing
ground
for
us
when
we
were
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
that
because
of
the
sustained
brutally
hot
humid
summers
and
the
sustained
brutally
cold
snowy
winters.
So
you
get
both
ends
of
the
spectrum
to
really
test.
K
You
know
what
you
can
actually
do
and
a
part
of
it
was
just
that
basic
problem
that
comes
into
every
city,
I
mean
I,
don't
have
to
recite
the
stats,
because
everyone's
done
that
for
me
already
so,
thank
you
guys,
but
there's
so
many
people.
It's
only
getting
bigger,
there's
only
more
people
who
demand
food.
We
need
food.
We
need
access
to
fresh,
healthy,
local
food
that
we
know
where
it
came
from.
K
So
our
thought
was,
you
know,
look
around
the
city
of
Boston,
look
around
any
other
urban
environment.
What
if
farming
was
possible?
You
know
what,
if,
who
is
possible
to
farm
in
the
middle
of
winter
and
one
of
those
brutally
cold
snowstorms
that
we
all
know
and
love
right
in
the
heart
of
the
city
in
those
in-between
spaces,
in
what
we
call
the
marginal
space,
the
underutilized,
the
underdeveloped.
You
know
that
the
throwaway
space
and
anywhere
else
you
could
think
of
what?
If
anybody
could
do
that
in
those
spaces?
K
And
that's
really
why
we're
here?
That's
why
we
created
frayed
farms
out
of
a
need
to
empower
people
to
produce
food
anywhere
that
they
will
thought
it
should
be
formattings
a
little
bit
off
here,
but
you
get
the
picture
so
really
what
we've
set
out
to
do
and
what
we
do
today.
You
know,
based
out
of
here
in
Boston
now
in
30,
different
states
in
the
US
and
over
10
countries
worldwide
is
providing
a
business
and
farming
platform
for
people
to
grow
food
anywhere.
K
That's
the
hardware,
the
software
and,
most
importantly,
in
a
big
piece
of
that
is
the
knowledge
and
the
connection
to
not
only
your
farm
and
to
the
technology,
but
also
the
humans
to
the
other
people
who
are
doing
it,
whether
they're
here
whether
they're
New
York,
whether
they're
in
San
Francisco,
whether
they're
in
Barbados,
you
name
it
you
can
all
share,
and
so
we
threw
a
little
video
in
here
because
rather
than
describe
what
exactly
is
the
leafy
green
machine?
That's
our
flagship
product,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
it,
it's
a
40-foot
insulated
shipping
container.
K
So
in
its
first
life
it
was
refrigerator
that,
ironically
enough
enabled
the
movement
of
fresher
produce
goods
throughout
the
globe.
So
we
retrofit
it
with
a
vertical
hydroponic
system,
LED
lights
and
all
of
the
pieces
needed
for
you
to
get
it
land
it
plug
it
in
add
water
and
start
to
grow.
Almost
two
acres
worth
of
lettuce
in
320
square
feet
and
a
big
piece
for
us
was
making
the
whole
product
accessible
to
a
regular
person.
K
I
see
the
joke
when
we
were
prototyping
that
my
goal
is
to
allow
my
mom,
who
is
not
very
technically
savvy,
to
walk
into
the
leafy
green
machine
and
say
I
could
do
this.
It
took
a
while,
but
I
think
I
think
we
just
about
got
there
to
the
point
where
I
know
my
mom
will
walk
in
and
feel
comfortable
and
everything
is
within
the
the
leafy
green
machine
itself.
K
You
know
so
a
big
piece
of
it
is
to
be
able
to
grow
plants
365
days
a
year
from
seed
to
harvest
and
then
empower
those
people,
businesses
and
organizations
to
enact
on
their
vision
for
what
local
food
should
be
so
within.
As
you
can
see,
everything
starts
in
the
germination
area.
We
start
natural
non-gmo,
see
it's
in
our
germination
space
or
they
grow
into
small
seedlings
and
they're
ready
to
transplant
into
the
vertical
columns.
K
So
the
human,
the
user,
is
really
just
doing
the
most
basic
tasks
necessary,
moving
the
seed,
transplanting
the
seed
and
then
harvesting
fresh
food.
All
of
the
complex
heavy
lifting
that
comes
in
to
hydroponic
growing,
which,
if
you're
not
familiar,
is
the
art
of
growing
food
or
growing
plants
without
soil.
So
nutrient,
rich
water
is
passed
over
the
roots
of
the
plant,
giving
it
everything
it
needs
to
grow
and
all
of
that
is
controlled
via
the
farmhand
software.
K
We
named
it
farmhand
because
we
wanted
it
to
be
an
extension
of
the
power
of
the
of
the
human.
Very
much
like
like
the
Copenhagen
wheel.
You
know
to
allow
for
someone
with
less
experience,
less
knowledge
to
be
able
to
do
the
jobs
of
two
or
three
people
within
their
farm
and
not
have
to
worry
about
testing,
balancing
and
checking
water
solutions
and
working
on
all
these
complex
pieces.
K
Just
let
the
leafy
green
machine,
let
the
system
do
the
heavy
lifting
and
you
just
worry
about
what
am
I
going
to
grow
and
how
am
I
going
to
feed
more
people,
and
that's
really,
you
know
when
it
comes
right
down
to
it.
What
we
set
out
to
do
you
know,
is
to
create
these
things.
These
tools
that
connect
people
to
food
and
food
to
communities
and
those
communities
are
more
and
more
in
cities.
K
The
way
we
sort
of
see
the
future
I
mean
when
we
talk
about
smart
cities.
We
talk
about
food
systems.
Everything
is
going
in
a
new
direction,
we're
utilizing
technology
in
a
way
that
is
really
fascinating,
every
facet
that
we've
touched
on
today,
but
when
I
talk
about
the
food
system,
you
know
when
you
look
at
it.
If
the
food
system
was
built
today
from
the
ground
up,
it
would
look
very
different
than
the
way
it
is.
We
would
just
demand
more.
We
were
demand
more
better,
faster.
K
You
know
your
neighborhood,
you
know
your
community
and
you
do
what's
right
by
that
community
and
we
just
want
to
give
you
the
tools
and
the
knowledge
to
do
that.
So
some
of
the
farms
that
I
mean
we're
Boston
based
and
I'm
very
proud
of
what
our
farmers
have
been
able
to
do
in
the
neighborhoods
we've
touched.
You
know
activating
space
under
93
over
in
the
South
End,
our
friend
Scott,
who
decided
he
wanted
to
stop
being
an
accountant
and
become
a
farmer.
So
he
said
sure
thanks
Scott.
Let's
do
that.
K
You
know
so
he
partnered
up
with
some
local
businesses
in
the
area.
A
developer,
be
good.
Restaurant
is
a
huge
proponent
of
local
and
knowing
where
your
food
comes
from
to
put
local
food
into
the
community.
East
Boston,
one
of
our
oldest
customers,
Sean
and
Connie
Cooney,
definitely
checked
them
out
at
Boston,
Public
Market.
K
You
know
being
able
to
put
a
leafy
green
machine
at
Boston,
Latin
School.
You
know
one
of
the
oldest
public
institutions
in
the
country
that
has
a
farm
right
outside
that
brick
wall,
that's
their
cafeteria,
so
students
running
a
farm
interacting
with
the
plants,
understanding
that
there's
biology,
there's
physiology,
there's
chemistry,
there's
all
sorts
of
things
happening
and
they
get
excited
about
it,
and
on
top
of
that
they
grow
their
own
kale.
They
eat
their
own
kale
and
all
of
a
sudden
they're
liking
kale.
K
These
are
just
some
of
the
fun
happy
students
doing
their
thing.
Isn't
so
isn't
farming
happy
and
just
so
exciting?
But
that's
I
mean
that's
really
part
of
it
in
West
Roxbury.
You
know
what
they're
doing
at
Catholic
Memorial
again
just
getting
the
next
generation
of
people
comfortable
with
farming,
and
you
know,
there's
a
decline
in
in
who
is
farming.
You
know
the
average
age
of
farmers
you
know
going
up
dramatically
is
over
sixty
years
old.
Yet
we
need
more
food,
we're
going
to.
K
We
need
to
feed
more
people,
we
have
to
do
it
in
a
smarter,
more
efficient
way,
and
that's
really
what
the
future
of
food
and
the
future
of
cities
are
really
all
about.
It
all
works
together,
and
our
belief
is
very
strong,
as
the
future
of
food
needs
to
be
environmentally
responsible.
So
finding
a
way
to
use
our
resources
smarter,
faster,
stronger,
it
has
to
be
cost.
Effective
access
is
a
big
piece,
especially
with
healthy,
healthy
food
into
healthy
produce.
K
So
we
have
to
get
much
better
continue
to
be
better
so
that
healthy
local
produce
can
be
accessible
to
all
populations,
accessibility
being
able
to
not
only
get
that
food
but
actually
interact
with
where
it
came
from
know
who
grew.
It
know
why
they
grew
it
and
know
why
they
grew
it
for
your
community
and
also
resilient
on
top
of
that
understanding,
these
climate
issues
and
everything
that's
happening
in
the
world.
K
When
we
look
at
it,
one
of
the
most
important
pieces
for
us
is
putting
that
all
together
and
not
just
holding
it
all
closed
and
walled
off
just
for
us
at
free
farms,
but
is
to
open
it
up
and
actually
put
it
out
there,
so
that
the
actual
solution
is
in
the
hands
of
not
just
a
few
but
in
the
hands
of
many,
because,
as
we
like
to
say
in
a
population,
that's
growing
by
the
billions,
the
only
way
to
feed
them
is
to
make
millions
of
people
into
farmers.
Thank.
M
M
To
have
a
little
fun
by
giving
you
guys
a
little
bit
of
knowledge
about
McDonald's,
Steve,
Urkel
and
Boston,
that
does
just
how
I
figured
I
should
really
talk
about.
Innovation
is
just
have
fun
with
it,
and
the
reality
of
it
is
that
the
beauty
of
freedom
is
now
more
alive
than
ever
when
it
comes
to
work,
and
we
think
of
work
like
this
all
right.
M
How
many
of
you
guys
like
remember
the
good
old
days
when
you
thought
work
with
only
9
to
5,
and
you
are
going
to
wear
that
really
horrible
headset
to
talk
to
someone
on
your
team
right.
It's
transformed
greatly
with
technology
companies
pretty
much
with
the
uberx
model,
like
myself,
have
been
able
to
really
play
on
people's
passions
and
look
at
what
does
it
mean
in
order
to
balance
work,
life
and
passion
in
order
to
make
a
living
for
yourself?
And
so
this
brings
birth
to
the
gig
economy.
M
M
A
beauty
professional
will
not
get
paid
unless
they're
cutting
your
hair
and
if
they're
not
cutting
your
hair,
they're,
not
getting
paid
right
and
that's
why
I
love
what
I
do
with
my
come
any,
which
is
really
not
about
melting
makeup
right
on
a
hot
day,
but
more
or
less
about
melting.
The
stereotype
that
work
can
only
happen
in
the
salons
for
beauty
professionals.
We
are
a
two-sided
marketplace
that
connects
customers
and
beauty
professionals
for
work.
All
right
and
I
love.
M
It
I
have
to
say
I
love
them
too,
because
they
don't
melt
makeup
on
your
face.
On
a
hot
summer
day,
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
a
hot
summer
day,
so
the
joke
was
really
going
to
work,
but
I
want
to
tell
you
guys
something
special
about
Massachusetts
as
a
whole.
Now,
how
many
of
you
guys
actually
eat?
Mcdonald's?
M
Ok,
not
too
many,
so
you're
not
going
to
really
care
for
the
statistic,
but
when
it
comes
down
to
the
amount
of
McDonald's
and
the
amount
of
nail
salons
in
the
state
of
Massachusetts
alone,
can
you
guess
who
is
actually
winning
if
it's
McDonald's
or
the
nail
salons,
you
guys
think
it's
a
nail
salon,
ok
and
you're
right?
They
beat
them
by
two
times
throughout
the
whole
entire
state.
So
there
are
two
times
more
nail:
salons
in
this
state
in
comparison
to
McDonald's
I
just
want
to.
M
Let
you
guys
know
that
beauty
is
taking
over
right,
it's
taking
over
to
a
completely
different
level,
but
what
you
guys
don't
understand
and
why
I'm
really
excited
about
the
work
that
I
do
here
in
Boston.
Is
that
we're
increasing
access
to
individuals
by
allowing
beauty
professionals
to
go
into
people's
homes?
So
how
many
of
you
guys
think
about
a
beauty
service
for
an
individual
with
a
wheelchair
when
you
go
to
a
salon
or
a
barber
shop.
M
It's
also
beauty.
We
all
care
about
what
we
look
like.
We
all
enjoy
looking
good,
and
with
that
you
know.
This
is
the
reason
why
I
built
the
on-demand
service.
When
it
came
to
beauty
link
right,
we
really
look
at
being
able
to
increase
the
access
for
the
customers
and
the
beauty
professionals
to
do
even
more
work,
but
the
innovative
part
about
you
know
looking
at
Boston
is
that
you
guys
have
no
idea
how
many
times
I've
been
told
to
move
to
New
York
and
build
out
my
company
and
I
was
like.
M
Are
you
telling
me
that
Boston
is
just
not
that
beautiful,
like
people
just
don't
care
about
what
they
look
like
great,
like
we're
walking
around
like
a
bunch
of
zombies,
and
you
know,
Frankenstein's
outside
I
know
that
sometimes
we
don't
like
to
match
our
shoes
and
we
don't
like
to
wear.
You
know
flip-flops.
Traditionally,
you
like
the
socks
with
them,
sometimes
right,
but
I,
think
about
if
Boston
is
a
place
for
innovation
right.
M
M
Well,
actually,
I
may
just
go
back.
You
guys
don't
need
to
see
earful
this,
yet
is
that
the
environment,
it
still
hasn't
changed
too
much
right,
I,
think
about
what
Boston
can
be
and
what
it
will
take
in
order
for
us
to
do
that,
and
this
is
when
you
guys
get
to
see
Arkell
right,
you
guys
have
any
of
you
guys!
Watch
family
matters.
Yes,
yes,
you
guys
are
family
pants,
though
you
guys
ever
loved
this
right.
M
So
this
is
see
when
he's
just
starting
out
and
he's
in
love
with
Laura
right
and
he
just
Gaga.
The
experiments
haven't
gotten
out
of
whack.
Yet
right,
there's
Stefan
right,
looking
at
us
gazing
at
us
a
little
bit.
This
is
Boston
in
terms
of,
like
you
know,
all
the
accelerators
and
the
resources
we're
Stefan
right,
we're
coming
out
here,
we're
stepping
out
real
great,
but
then
there's
Myrtle
right,
Myrtle,
the
little
southern
charm
that
comes
into
the
city
here
and
there
and
tells
us
hey
Boston,
you
guys
are,
are
not
doing
what
you
guys.
M
Can
you
guys
need
to
do
something
a
little
bit
different?
What
what
can
you
guys
do?
That's
a
little
bit
different
and
I
suggest
that
we
become
Bruce,
Lee,
Arkell,
right
I
suggest
we
become
Bruce,
Lee
ergo.
We
need
to
kick
a
little
butt
right.
We
need
to
combat
some
of
the
issues
and
the
situations
that
keep
us
from
being
the
most
innovative
city
in
this
country.
Right
we
are
the
city
on
the
hill.
M
That
is
what
has
always
been
taught
to
anybody
that
was
born
and
bred
here,
like
myself,
right
and
I
want
us
to
become
Bruce,
Lee,
Urkel.
Okay,
you
guys
can
hashtag
that
Bruce
Lee
purple
button.
Wait!
That's
that's
really
what
I
want,
but
we
have
to
change
our
ideas
of
what
innovation
looks
like
and
innovation
in
Boston
still
looks
a
little
bit
like.
Can
anybody
guess
the
show
that
I'm
talking
about
Silicon,
Valley
right
so
Boston
still
looked
a
little
bit
like
to
look
on
valley?
M
M
Okay,
almost
almost
all
right,
so
there
are
opportunities
for
us
to
do
much
better.
In
terms
of
you
know
what
Boston
can
be,
let
us
not
be
in
Silicon
Valley.
Let
us
really
be
strong
in
our
voices
and
stating
that
we
want
to
be
different
and
right
now
we
really
haven't
done
that
and
I'm
challenging
everybody
in
here
to
make
sure
that
you're
pushing
everybody
and
use
my
herbal
scale
when
you're
thinking
about
how
to
force
change
into
Boston
and
with
that
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
