Seminar

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 […]

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. Seminar attendees are also invited to a group discussion with Michel Hidalgo on Thursday, April 11th from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM on this link. ABSTRACT How do you do robotics without robots? […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT This talk introduces dynamic game theory as a natural modeling tool for multi-agent interactions ranging from large, abstract systems such as ride-hailing networks to more concrete, physically-embodied robotic settings such as collision-avoidance in traffic. We present the […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Towne 337 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Generalist robot policies, trained on large and diverse robot datasets, have the potential to transform how robot learning research is done: in the same way that current models in NLP are almost universally derived from pretrained large […]

This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Decades of rigorous research in dynamical systems and control helped us integrate robots into a wide variety of domains, ranging from factory floors to the moon. Today, it would appear that deep learning has taken over the […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Foundation models, trained on vast and diverse data encompassing the human experience, are at the heart of the ongoing AI revolution influencing the way we create, problem solve, and work. These models, and the lessons learned from their […]
