U of T Robotics Institute Seminar Series

Autonomous driving on snow and ice Abstract 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 the robustness of […]

Title and abstract to come. Speaker bio I’m an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Machine Learning Department, a core faculty member of the Neuroscience Institute, and hold a courtesy appointment in the Robotics Institute. My lab, the NeuroAgents lab, works at the intersection of neuroscience & AI to reverse-engineer animal intelligence and build the next generation of autonomous […]

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 […]
