Predicting Failures of Vision Systems
Event Location: NSH 1507Abstract: This is a joint work with P. Zhang, J. Wang, A Farhadi, and D. Parikh. Computer vision systems today fail frequently. They also fail abruptly without warning or explanation. Alleviating the former has been the primary focus of the community. In this work, we hope to draw the community’s attention to [...]

Control and Design of Snake Robots
Event Location: NSH 1305Abstract: Snake robots are ideally suited to highly confined environments because their small cross-sections and highly redundant kinematics allow them to enter and move through tight spaces with a high degree of dexterity. Despite these theoretical advantages, snake robots also pose a number of practical challenges that have limited their usefulness in [...]
