Faculty Candidate Talk: Jason Ma
Title: Internet Supervision for Robot Learning Abstract: The availability of internet-scale data has led to impressive large-scale AI models in various domains, such as vision and language. For learning robot skills, despite recent efforts in crowd-sourcing robot data, robot-specific datasets remain orders of magnitude smaller. Rather than focusing on scaling robot data, my research takes the alternative path of directly [...]
Autonomous Exploration and Navigation, Full Autonomy System, and Beyond
Abstract: In this talk, I will present work on autonomous exploration and introduce our full autonomy system. The work started several years ago from lidar-based state estimation. Building upon the state estimation module, the autonomy system now contains multiple fundamental modules, e.g. collision avoidance, terrain traversability analysis, and waypoint following. At the high level of [...]
