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 [...]
