Morning commute on the Duck Line in Chicago.

T-RL will be part of IEEE RAS’s journal-to-conference presentation model. Authors of non-evolutionary T-RL papers will be given the opportunity to present at a RAS-sponsored conference. Moreover, CoRL (corl.org) organizers have agreed to participate.

Volumetric Ergodic Control arxiv.org/pdf/2511.11533 The series of ergodic control papers (optimal coverage synthesis) now works for volumes.

The IEEE Transactions on Robot Learning (T-RL) will launch March 30, in three weeks! Vincent Vanhoucke and I are co-editing T-RL and I am looking forward to our first submissions. If you have great work at the intersection of AI/ML and robotics/automation, we want to see it.

Lake Light. Wicked winter nights in Chicago.

Snow Blanket. Lake Michigan is frozen and the significant snowfall along the shoreline today creates a white welcome mat approaching the Chicago skyline on Sunday evening. #chicago #weather #news #ilwx

Well I felt all that -27 degrees getting these images this morning. Stay warm Chicago!

Sun-Times needed some cold weather features, so I got them some cold weather features. Hope you enjoy, and stay warm Chicago!

Chicago on this day in 2017

It was around 1°F on Sunday morning in Chicago, so I went for a walk along the Riverwalk. #chiberia #chicagowinter

My favorite Non drone photo of the year. 1 of the 350 photos I took as part of a Timelapse. I'm now convinced this spot on Diversey is one of the best views of the skyline #Chicago
