MEAM Seminar: “Robot-assisted Imaging of Neuromuscular Function: New Insights on the Neural Substrates of Motor Control”
Can we use robots to help humans learn a new motor skill, or to improve performance of a motor task? What are the neural substrates that support motor learning under […]
Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Anthony Bisulco, University of Pennsylvania, “A Tutorial on Neuromorphic Vision for High-Speed Perception”
This seminar will be held in person in Levine 307 as well as via Zoom. Mobile robot systems operate in dynamic environments, such as forests, caves, or roadways, where they […]
Spring 2022 GRASP SFI: Paloma Sodhi, Carnegie Mellon University, “Learning in factor graphs for tactile perception”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom Factor graphs offer a flexible and powerful framework for solving large-scale, nonlinear inference […]
GRASP on Robotics: Jing Xiao, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, “Perception-Action Synergy in Uncertain Environments”
Many robotic applications require a robot to operate in an environment with unknowns or uncertainty, at least initially, before it gathers enough information about the environment. In such a case, […]
Fall 2021 GRASP Seminar: Heng Yang, “Certifiable Outlier-Robust Geometric Perception: Robots that See through the Clutter with Confidence”
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance for Dr. Malikopoulos’ in-person talk in Wu & Chen Auditorium and Virtual attendance via Zoom Webinar here. Geometric perception is the […]
Fall 2021 GRASP SFI: Lucas Manuelli, NVIDIA, “Robot Manipulation with Learned Representations”
We would like to have robots which can perform useful manipulation tasks in real-world environments. This requires robots that can perceive the world with both precision and semantic understanding, methods […]
Fall 2021 GRASP Seminar: Gregory S. Chirikjian, “Robot Imagination: Affordance-Based Reasoning about Unknown Objects”
Today’s robots are very brittle in their intelligence. This follows from a legacy of industrial robotics where robots pick and place known parts repetitively. For humanoid robots to function as […]
