Building a Force-Controlled Actuator (Company)

1305 Newell Simon Hall

Abstract: In 2014, I was lucky enough to be one of 5 people to start HEBI Robotics, with the dream of eventually making the task of building custom robots as easy as building with Lego.  A few years later we are now 10 people, and our first product, a series of modular force-controlled actuators, is [...]

Minimalist Visual Perception and Navigation for Consumer Drones

1305 Newell Simon Hall

Abstract: Consumer drone developers often face the challenge of achieving safe autonomous navigation under very tight size, weight, power, and cost constraints. In this talk, I will present our recent results towards a minimalist, but complete perception and navigation solution utilizing only a low-cost monocular visual-inertial sensor suite. I will start with an introduction of [...]

A key reason is that machine perception of inter-personal communication is largely unsolved and a computationally accessible representation of such behavior remains elusive. In this talk, I will describe our research arc over the past decade at CMU [...]
