Robotics Institute Seminar: Francois Pomerleau (Université Laval)

Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Room 580, or live streamed on YouTube 55 St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Autonomous driving on snow and ice Join the live stream As the promise of autonomous cars keeps being delayed, more and more questions are raised about the accessibility of this technology in remote locations. Moreover, extreme meteorological events are on the rise with the concretization of climate change. This new reality stresses the importance of […]

Robotics Institute Seminar: Aran Nayebi (Carnegie Mellon)

Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Room 580, or live streamed on YouTube 55 St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Using Embodied Agents to Reverse-Engineer Natural Intelligence Join the live stream Modern AI faces (at least!) two challenges: (1) building agents capable of autonomy and life-long learning, and (2) embodying them to perform these tasks in the real-world. In this talk, I will discuss our approach to these questions, and show that they also are […]

Robotics Institute Seminar: Sergey Stavisky (UC Davis)

Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Room 580, or live streamed on YouTube 55 St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Restoring speech with a brain-computer interface Abstract to come. Speaker bio I’m a neuroscientist and neural engineer working at the intersection of systems and computational neuroscience, neural engineering, and machine learning. I’m trying to understand how the brain controls movements, and to use this knowledge to build brain-computer interface (BCIs) that treat brain injury and […]
