ABOUT THEIR WORK
Cynthia works on robots in many different environments - from coffee shops and retail stores to hospitals and warehouses. They are particularly proud, however, as having served as project manager for the publication of Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig’s "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (4th Edition)", widely acknowledged as the most popular artificial intelligence textbook in the world.
