From exoskeletons to neural implants, are we becoming one with computers? Is the singularity upon us or are we simply leveraging technologies to expand our potential, overcome limitations, and augment our abilities? Zhenan Bao shares her leading-edge work inventing new technologies and capabilities to control electronics, see, and feel. Katie Strausser demonstrates how robotics are both augmenting capabilities and promoting inclusion for people with disabilities.

The 2021 Women in Tech Symposium: The New Era of Human-Computer Interaction occurred on March 12, 2021, and was produced by the Expanding Diversity and Gender Equity in Tech (EDGE in Tech)™ Initiative at the University of California.

EDGE in Tech was co-founded in 2017 by Berkeley Engineering and the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute, to promote the participation, persistence, and advancement of women and other under-included identities in tech.
