*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom here…   ABSTRACT With the maturing of AI and multiagent systems research, we have a tremendous opportunity to direct these advances towards addressing complex societal problems. I  will focus on  domains of public health and conservation,  and address one key cross-cutting challenge: how to effectively deploy our […]

*This is a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Event cameras are novel vision sensors that mimic functions from the human retina and offer potential advantages over traditional cameras (low latency, high speed, high dynamic range, etc.). They acquire visual information in the form of pixel-wise brightness […]

This seminar is for internal Penn students and faculty only.   ABSTRACT An overview of Intellectual Property and a discussion on best practices for protecting your creations and ideas in light of employment obligations.

*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom here… ABSTRACT Locomotion and perception are a common thread between robotics and biology. Understanding these phenomena at a mechanical level involves nonlinear dynamics and the coordination of many degrees of freedom. In this talk, I will discuss geometric approaches […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT Reliable operation in everyday human environments – homes, offices, and businesses – remains elusive for today’s robotic systems.  A key challenge is diversity, as no two homes or businesses are exactly alike.  However, despite the innumerable unique aspects […]
