Faculty Candidate Talk: Closing the Loop with Vision Feedback and Compliance in Robotic Manipulation

Gates 6115

Areas of Interest: Grasping and Manipulation   Abstract Robotic manipulation is a key functional requirement that is largely missing from the current state of the art regarding robots in unstructured environments. While models of manipulation phenomenon give us invaluable insights on various principles, many parameters (e.g. surface geometry, friction coefficients, contact locations) are difficult to [...]

Faculty Candidate Talk: Designing Robot Behavior in Human-Robot Interactions

Newell-Simon Hall 3305

Areas of Interest: Industrial Collaborative Robot, Autonomous Driving, Non-Convex Optimization, Distributed Conflict Resolution   Abstract Human-robot interactions (HRI) have been recognized to be a key element of future robots in many application domains such as manufacturing, transportation, service and entertainment, which entail huge social and economic impacts. Technically, it is challenging to design the behavior [...]
