This week you can find me in-person at #IROS2023, where I'll be co-organizing the workshop on “Task and Motion Planning: from Theory to Practice” (w/ Neil Dantam, Federico Pecora, and @LydiaKavraki) Check out our phenomenal line-up of speakers here: dyalab.mines.edu/2023/iros-work…

I am going on the academic job market! 🧑‍🎓 My research focuses on developing robot cognition 🤖 Among things, I contributed AI techniques to improve task & motion planning, decision making, and experience transfer. If I might be a good fit for your department, please reach out!

If you use sampling-based motion planning, you'll want to check out this exciting new work from @wilthomason and @kingstonzak

Wil Thomason@wilthomason

@kingstonzak, @KavrakiLab and I have new work on massively accelerating robot motion planning (planning for the @FRANKAEMIKA Panda in 40 μs - about 500x faster than MoveIt!) on ordinary CPUs/SoCs: arxiv.org/abs/2309.14545

At #IROS2023? Come check out this forward-looking work from @DrRobotPhD and @kingstonzak interactions between robot motion planning and privacy! Today at 14:42 in the afternoon "Motion and Path Planning" session.

Rahul Shome@DrRobotPhD

Excited to share this study with @kingstonzak @LydiaKavraki @kavrakilab about the privacy implications of robot motion planning. Intelligent #robotics might be vulnerable to unique threats to privacy. Check us out @ieeeiros @anucecc @ANUComputing @roboticsANUComp @RiceCompSci

We had a blast attending #csbw2023 today at #ACMBCB2023 @acm_bcb! Many great talks on structural bioinformatics in the post-AlphaFold2 era. Our very own Felix Quintana presented his work on using Large Language Models and protein structure to predict pathogenicity. Check it out!

Rice CS' @KavrakiLab presented 4 #ICRA23 #robotics & automation papers. “It's exciting to see our team members pushing the envelope...Few robotics & AI labs share this kind of access to top researchers with such different areas of expertise,” said Kavraki. bit.ly/3rQD78G

Choosing optimal placements and grasps can make a difference in cluttered environments for TAMP! If you are at #ICRA2023 in London, check out our poster presentation: Tue 05/30@3:00pm (Pod 40). Amazing collaboration @KavrakiLab, @DrRobotPhD, @Tianyang_Pan, @kingstonzak

This lets it automatically find valid pick-and-place actions to rearrange the objects - maintaining stability even on surfaces with challenging obstacle geometries, like the bumpy table shown here. If you're in London, check out Yiyuan's poster at the 15:00 Weds session!

English

Kavraki Lab@KavrakiLab·29 May

Yiyuan solves hard-to-model object rearrangement problems from only a start and goal configuration - no PDDL for actions or discretized state. The planner embeds a physics engine and uses it to dynamically discover and search over stable intermediate arrangements.
