Seminar

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week's speaker will be virtual. ABSTRACT Autonomous flying robots have become widespread in recent years, yet their capability to interact with the environment. remains limited. Moving in multiple fluids is one of the great challenges of mobile […]

This is a hybrid event with a VIRTUAL SPEAKER. There will be in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT This talk will describe progress in developing a universal theory of architectures for complex networks, motivated by and applied to aerospace, process control, internet, cyberphysical, ecosystems, multiscale physics, turbulence, biology, neuroscience, […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Today's machine perception systems rely extensively on supervision provided by humans, such as natural language. I will talk about our efforts to make systems that, instead, learn from two ubiquitous sources of unlabeled sensory data: visual motion […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Generative models, which map a latent parameter space to instances in an ambient space, enjoy various applications in 3D Vision and related domains. A standard scheme of these models is probabilistic, which aligns the induced ambient distribution […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT With rapid evolution of sensing, communication, and computation, integrating learning and control presents significant Embodied AI opportunities. However, current decision-making frameworks lack comprehensive understanding of the tridirectional relationship among communication, learning and control, posing challenges for multi-agent […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT With the recent advances in sensing, actuation, computation, and communication, the deployment of large numbers of robots is becoming a promising avenue to enable or speed up complex tasks in areas such as manufacturing, last-mile delivery, search-and-rescue, […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week's speaker will be virtual. There will be an extended Q&A/discussion after the seminar from 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM.  ABSTRACT Based on the theory of homogeneous spaces we derive \textit{geometrically optimal edge attributes} to be used […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Magnetic fields offer the possibility of manipulating objects from a distance and are ideal for medical applications, as they penetrate human tissue without inflicting any harm on the patient. Magnetic fields can be harnessed to actuate surgical robots, […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week's speaker will be virtual. ABSTRACT Various applications for autonomous multi-robot systems, such as disaster response, infrastructure repair, agricultural operations, contaminant cleanup, and wildfire suppression, will require these systems to act as distributed sensors, sources, and manipulators […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. This seminar will NOT be recorded. ABSTRACT Modeling 3D objects and scenes creates many challenges, both on the analysis and the synthesis sides. The focus of this talk is the compositional structure of objects (into parts) and of […]
