M. Anthony Lewis is an American robotics researcher and currently serves as the Vice President of Hewlett-Packard and the head of Hewlett-Packard's Compute Lab for disruptive edge technologies.
[1] Lewis received his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California under the guidance of Michael Arbib and George Bekey.
He collaborated on a project to help paralyzed people, using studies of an eel's nerve circuitry.
[2] In recent work, Lewis and colleagues have demonstrated a robot that claimed to be the most biologically accurate model of human locomotion to date.
[3] This robotic uses a muscle architecture much like a human being, a simplified neural circuit meant to mimic neurons in the spinal cord, and sensory feedback mimicking the primary sensory pathways found in human.
