COLLOQUIUM

The New Robotics Age: The Interactivity Challenge

Speaker(s) Oussama Khatib
Date & Time 14 June, 2016 @ 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm
Venue NUS Faculty of Engineering Lecture Theatre 7A (LT7A)

The generations of robots now being developed will increasingly touch people and their lives. They will explore, work, and interact with humans in their homes, workplaces, in new production systems, and in challenging field domains. The emerging robots will provide increased operational support in mining, underwater, and hostile and dangerous environment. While full anatomy for […]

COLLOQUIUM

Service Robots Are Here

Speaker(s) Steve Cousins, Founder of Savioke, Former President & CEO of Willow Garage
Date & Time 28 March, 2016 @ 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm
Venue NUS School of Computing, Executive Classroom (COM2-04-02)

After 20 years of predictions that robots will work among us soon, the predictions are finally starting to come true. Investment in robotics is up, enabling start-ups to explore a range of use cases. Decreasing component costs will make it easier to make real business cases for the technology. Mobile robots are beginning to transform […]

COLLOQUIUM

Bio-inspired Wire-Driven Fishlike Underwater Robot

Speaker(s) Ruxu Du, Ph.D., F-SME, F-ASME
Date & Time 2 March, 2016 @ 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm
Venue NUS Faculty of Engineering Lecture Theatre 7 (LT7)

Fish-like underwater robot, or simply robot fish, is a topic that has attracted much interest in the recent decade. Fish swimming is a wonder of nature: elegant, fast, agile, and highly efficient. Compared to conventional screw propelled ships, fish is several times more efficient, which motivates scientists and engineers to design and built robot fish […]

COLLOQUIUM

Advanced Robotics Center Colloquium: Making Robots Behave

Speaker(s) Professor Leslie Kaelbling
Date & Time 21 January, 2016 @ 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Venue Video Conference Room, COM1-02-13

The fields of AI and robotics have made great improvements in many individual subfields, including motion planning, symbolic planning, probabilistic reasoning, perception, and learning. Our goal is to develop an integrated approach to solving very large problems that are hopelessly intractable to solve optimally. We make a number of approximations during planning, including serializing subtasks, […]
