#introduction post! My name is Sonia Roberts (she/her) and I'm a postdoc at Northeastern developing #knit sensors for #soft, fully knitted #robots. My PhD work was on #legged robots running around in the desert (ever gone for a beach run?). I use my robots to test ideas about #affordances and #DirectPerception. I have also done some #SciencePolicy and #TechnologyPolicy #policy work around algorithmic transparency and regulating the use of mobile sentries by law enforcement.

Is anyone else thoroughly confused anytime anyone argues for Direct Perception? It always seems like they are actually arguing the exact opposite of what they are saying
