My Take
Raúl Rojas is exactly the kind of scientist I admire: a thinker who insists on building things. From Mexico City to an emeritus chair in computer science and mathematics in Berlin, he became a real authority on neural networks, and then proved it physically, his FU-Fighters robots winning world titles in 2004 and 2005 before he turned to the Spirit of Berlin self-driving project. The 2015 National Prize for Arts and Sciences fits a career that refuses to stay theoretical. I love minds that move between equations, robots and cars, treating ideas as something you ship, not just publish.
