Saul Griffith is an inventor whose designs look like they’re straight out of science fiction: wind turbines that float like kites, and inflatable robots that resemble walking animal balloons.

It’s part of Forum’s “First Person” series where we talk to the leaders and thinkers who make the Bay Area unique.
