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 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 […]

*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 with virtual attendance via Zoom.  ABSTRACT We introduce a novel sequential modeling approach which enables learning a Large Vision Model (LVM) without making use of any linguistic data. To do this, we define a common format, "visual sentences", in which we can represent raw images and […]

*This seminar will be held in-person in Raisler Lounge (Towne 225) with virtual attendance via Zoom.  ABSTRACT True gains of machine learning in AI sub-fields such as computer vision and natural language processing have come about from the use of large-scale diverse datasets for learning. In this talk, I will discuss how we can leverage […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Coupling advanced wearable and environmental sensors with dynamic AI frameworks has the potential to transform how we engage with machines and with the natural world.  By co-developing intelligent sensors and deployable machine learning pipelines, we can unlock […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT The ever-increasing penetration of level-2 autonomous vehicles (AVs) offers an opportunity to reshape the energy efficiency and throughput of our highways. Even at current low penetration rates (1-5%), we have observed in small settings that adopting different […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. PANEL DISCUSSION Please join us for a lively panel discussion featuring GRASP Faculty members Dr. Pratik Chaudhari, Dr. Dinesh Jayaraman, and Dr. Michael Posa. This panel will be moderated by Dr. Kostas Daniilidis around the current hot topic of AI […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom.  ABSTRACT 1X’s mission is to create an abundant supply of physical labor through androids that work alongside humans. I will share some of the progress 1X has been making towards general-purpose mobile manipulation. We have scaled up the […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Contact interactions are pervasive in real-world robotics tasks like manipulation and walking. However, the non-smooth dynamics associated with impacts and friction remain challenging to model, and motion planning and control algorithms that can fluently and efficiently reason about […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Why has autonomous driving, a task demanding significant intelligence, not met the high expectations set by many? Which hurdles have turned out to be more formidable than expected, and how can we refine our testing methodologies for […]
