Joanne Pransky made an impact on countless young women in robotics during her life. As 'The World's First Robot Psychiatrist,' modeled after Isaac Asimov's Susan Calvin from the iRobot stories, Joanne brought the social side of robots to the forefront, long before robots were at all common. Joanne served as a mentor and inspiration for many young women and girls who are often discouraged or pushed away from STEM fields including robotics and drones.
