When Gabriella Levine talks
about the concept of open
hardware, where individuals
share ideas and knowledge to
push technological innovation,
she need only point to her life as an example.
The COO of the robotics company Protei, and a pioneer in
robotics and design, Levine designs modular open
hardware toolkits for biomimetic robots, like Sneel, an
open source, biomimetic, locomotive, aquatic snake robot.
That’s right, a robot water snake. It’s used to collect
remote environmental data in harsh environments.
Gabriella found her way to the biomimetic robotic field in a
winding way that began with her training as a musician.

At Cornell University she trained in her dual loves of piano
and biology, but followed her passion for science into
cancer research. The field was at first exciting and
fulfilling, but one day she said, she found herself alone in a
lab surrounded by mice and loneliness set in. She craved
the collaboration of passionate people and the creative
outlet of piano and set out on a journey into kinetic
sculpture and robotics, which brought her to her current
vocation – creative technologist, a blend of art and design.
On Sept. 20 Levine will share her journey with the
audience at TEDx Navesink: The Next Wave, a locally
organized TED event. Levine will share her drive to create
something people will be able to use, build upon and
proliferate through open hardware.
