Toward telelocomotion: human sensorimotor control of contact-rich robot dynamics
Abstract: Human interaction with the physical world is increasingly mediated by automation -- planes assist pilots, cars assist drivers, and robots assist surgeons. Such semi-autonomous machines will eventually pervade our world, doing dull and dirty work, assisting the elderly and disabled, and responding to disasters. Recent results (e.g. from the DARPA Robotics Challenge) demonstrate that, [...]

Formal Synthesis for Robots
Abstract: In this talk I will describe how formal methods such as synthesis – automatically creating a system from a formal specification – can be leveraged to design robots, explain and provide guarantees for their behavior, and even identify skills they might be missing. I will discuss the benefits and challenges of synthesis techniques and [...]

Reconstructing 3D Human Avatars from Monocular Images
Abstract: Statistical 3D human body models have helped us to better understand human shape and motion and already enabled exciting new applications. However, if we want to learn detailed, personalized, and clothed models of human shape, motion, and dynamics, we require new approaches that learn from ubiquitous data such as plain RGB-images and video. I [...]

PhD Thesis Proposal
Learning Dense 3D Object Reconstruction without Geometric Supervision
Abstract: Geometric alignment across visual data has been the fundamental issue for effective and efficient computer vision algorithms. The established pixel correspondences between images indirectly infer the underlying 3D geometry, physically or semantically. While this builds the foundation of classical multi-view 3D reconstruction algorithms such as Structure from Motion (SfM) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping [...]

Extreme Motions in Biological and Engineered Systems
Abstract: Dr. Temel’s work mainly focuses on understanding the dynamics and energetics of extreme motions in small-scale natural and synthetic systems. Small-scale biological systems achieve extraordinary accelerations, speeds, and forces that can be repeated with minimal costs throughout the life of the organism. Zeynep uses analytical and computational models as well as physical prototypes to learn about these systems, test [...]
