Real-time 3D representations of surgical scenes for automating surgical robots Join in MY580 or online (Zoom) Efficient and effective surgery requires accurate models of the surgical scene. Surgeons must learn to create mental maps of complex 3D structures and register them to the operative field. To enable generalizable, robust automation in surgical robots, the robot also must learn to create […]

Join in MY580 or online (Zoom) Learning what matters for model-based robotics Many important robot applications are difficult to capture precisely with manually designed objectives, and involve dynamics that are too complex for manually designed predictive models. In this talk, I will present recent research on reward learning and model-based methods for robotics. I will […]

Perception solutions for enabling automated driving in winter conditions Join in MY580 or online (Zoom) This talk presents methods and findings from research on perception solutions for automated driving in winter conditions, carried out at the Autonomy & Mobility Laboratory, Aalto University. Winter conditions pose several challenges for automated vehicle perception pipelines, which currently limit […]
