Implicit Neural Scene Representations

Virtual Zoom Seminar:  https://cmu.zoom.us/j/92178295543?pwd=L2dwZU5SbDY5NzZZNzZ4ZmFUclRqQT09   Abstract How we represent signals has major implications for the algorithms we build to analyze them. Today, most signals are represented discretely: Images as grids of pixels, shapes as point clouds, audio as grids of amplitudes, etc. If images weren't pixel grids - would we be using convolutional neural networks [...]

Multi-stereo systems are becoming increasingly popular because of their large field of view (FoV) that benefits [...]

Zoom link: https://cmu.zoom.us/j/9608506704   Title: Towards Geometric Motion Planning for 3-link Kinematic Systems   Abstract: Geometric mechanics offers a powerful mathematical framework for studying locomotion for mobile systems. Despite the well-established literature, challenges remain when using geometric mechanics to design gaits for robots made of multi-link chain; in this thesis, we look at two of them. First, [...]
