Srinivasa joined Amazon as director of Robotics AI in 2018, and since 2017 has been the Boeing Endowed Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. Prior to that, he was the Finmeccanica Associate Professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University where he founded the Personal Robotics Lab in December 2005. Srinivasa, who describes himself as “a full-stack roboticist, with a focus on robotic manipulation”, has worked in the robotics field since 1999.
Jetter, who earned a bachelor of science degree from MIT in math with computer science, and a master's degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from Stanford University, joined Amazon earlier this year. Previously, she spent 20 years in the aerospace Industry, including more than 18 years at Boeing where she rose to become a technical fellow in autonomy and AI.
