🎉 Huge congratulations to our very own Prof. Aloimonos for being named an IEEE Fellow for 2025! 🏆 His groundbreaking work on Active Perception for Robots continues to shape the future of robotics. 🌟👏 #Robotics #IEEEFellow2025 @umdcs @UMDResearch

A multi-institutional team—which includes @UofMaryland researchers Yiannis Aloimonos and students Aadi Palnitkar and Arjun Suresh—has created a rhino-detection system that pairs satellite data with AI to boost conservation efforts. today.umd.edu/to-protect-rhi…

A wonderful reunion at @USouthFlorida 🌴 Prof. Yiannis gave an inspiring talk, hosted by our very own alum Prof. @XiaominLin11 . Fantastic labs, creative people, great conversations. Meliora 🔬🤝

🦾Can robots measure without rulers? @UofMaryland researchers are developing biologically inspired sensing that lets robots “learn” size and distance through movement, just like humans and animals. Read more: go.umd.edu/burner11-2025

Honored to share my thoughts on Insect-Inspired AI. Stay tuned for our upcoming research. #Robotics #AI #Bioinspired @umiacs @prgumd

The @UofMaryland's AI media day featured @umiacs-supported research from the Perception & Robotics Group and the Small Artifacts Lab: Levi Burner (@levisburner) demoed a drone that uses AI to stabilize its image capturing system.

⭐ Truly a special moment to host your Ph.D. advisor at your university as a faculty member! We at the @CUBoulder, are honored to invite Yiannis Aloimonos from the @UofMaryland and @prgumd for the Robotics Seminar on "Action Grammar: The Basis of Intelligent Robots". Seminar Details: 📅 When: Today (April 29, 2025) ⏰ Time: 3.30 PM MT (Mountain Time | 5.30 PM ET) 📌 Where: ECCR 245 🌎 Zoom: lnkd.in/eyyp5r3K (Password: umd)

🧠 Focus: Point set representation — turns labeled point sets into fixed-length vectors 🛠️ Proposes VKR: • Fits points using SVM, encodes decision function • ✅ Evaluate encoding quality before training • 🔁 Translation equivariant More details: cs.umd.edu/~dhyuan/assets…

🎉 Huge congrats to Dehao Yuan (@DehaoYuan) on a successful PhD defense! 📝 Thesis: "VECTOR KERNEL REPRESENTATION THEORY: APPLICATIONS IN POINT CLOUDS AND EVENT CAMERAS" 💡 Proposes Vector Kernel Representation (VKR) (Details in Thread) #PhDDefense #AI #ML

As the semester ends, we reflect on a year of progress in perception and robotics. Our lab tackled unique questions, explored bold ideas, and made meaningful contributions. Thank you to our team for your hard work and collaboration. Here's to building on this momentum in 2025!

Congrats to @UofMaryland robotics expert Yiannis Aloimonos, named an @IEEEorg Fellow for 2025! He was recognized for groundbreaking work in active perception and in the perception of action—key concepts for computer vision used in autonomous systems. go.umd.edu/IEEEFellow
