RI Faculty Meeting: Multi-Robot Field Autonomy: A 5 Year Perspective
LIVE DEMO! Come see, hear and witness progress made in developing a heterogeneous (wheeled, legged, etc.) team of field deployable mobile robots. Details will be shared on the history of development of multi-robot autonomy at CMU throughout the previous DARPA Subterranean Challenge, DARPA RACER program, and current ARL projects. There will be an ongoing live and interactive [...]

Language: You’ve probably heard of it, read it, written it, gestured it, mimed it… Why can’t robots?
Abstract: Language is how meaning is conveyed between humans, and now the basis of foundation models. By implication, it's the most important modality for all of AGI and will replace the entire robotics control stack as the most important thing for all of us to work on.

Composable Optimization for Robotic Motion Planning and Control
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 contact remain elusive. In this talk, I will share recent work from my research group that takes an “optimization-first” [...]
Carnegie Mellon University
AI for Human Mobility
Abstract This talk will describe a series of AI and robotics projects aimed at helping people independently move through cities and buildings. Projects include a deployed personalized transit information app, guide robots for people who are blind, and an integrated AI system that assists blind users with guidance and exploration. Specific findings will be presented [...]
AI-CARING
AI-CARING is an NSF-sponsored institute, led by Georgia Tech, whose mission is to investigate, develop and evaluate AI technologies to help older adults live independently. The Institute focuses on providing reminders to the older adults and alerting caregivers when necessary, assisting older adults with tasks such as meal preparation, motivating them to exercise, providing conversational [...]
Using mechanical intelligence to create adaptable robots
Abstract: Currently deployed robots are primarily rigid machines that perform repetitive, controlled tasks in highly constrained or open environments such as factory floors, warehouses, or fields. There is an increasing demand for more adaptable, mobile, and flexible robots that can manipulate or move through unstructured and dynamic environments. My vision is to create robots that [...]
