While in graduate school Prof. Larochelle was part of a small group of graduate students from the University of California at Irvine that were asked to appear in a commercial for Rockwell Corporation (now Rockwell Collins). The commercial was made to promote Rockwell and to publicize its committment to higher education as one of Prof. Larochelle's colleagues in the Robotics Lab, Dr. Brian McDonell, was being supported by a doctoral fellowship from Rockwell and his work, the development of a pneumatic robot, is featured in the commercial. It was a very interesting experience for all involved. The commercial was directed by two time Academy Award Nominee Roland Joffe.
