Ruzena Bajcsy made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Ruzena Bajcsy as American computer scientist.
Ruzena Bajcsy was born at Bratislava in 1933. Her recorded nationality is Czechoslovakia. She was educated at Stanford University and Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
She worked as computer scientist, engineer and artificial intelligence researcher.
Her affiliations include University of California, Berkeley and University of Pennsylvania.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
Her recorded fields of work are robotics, artificial intelligence and computer vision.
Her work was formally recognised with the Benjamin Franklin Medal, IEEE Robotics and Automation Award and ACM-AAAI Allen Newell Award.
Working from Czechoslovakia shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have her, the language the work first appeared in.
