🗣️🗣️From Mystery to Mastery: Tiny Robot Autonomy using the Manifestation of the Unknown 🗣️🗣️ I am giving a talk TODAY to the IEEE San Diego Society. 🕰️Time: Sept 25th (Today), 5:30 PM PST (8:30 PM EST) 📍Link: lnkd.in/ebaGxZsK #pearwpi @WPI

WPI researchers develop legged locomotion software for the Unitree Go1. Thanks for the great robot @UnitreeRobotics! The C++ library is open-source at github.com/echandler5956f…. #Robotics #AI

🌟🎄Happy Holidays Everyone!🎄🌟 We just started a YouTube channel! lnkd.in/evMVhhcX @WPI_Robotics @WPI #robotics #dronesforgood

🌯🌯That's a wrap for Hands-On Aerial Robotics in Fall 2023.🌯🌯 Kudos to all the great work by all the students and a special shoutout to Manoj Velmurugan for being the most awesome TA. The course is open-source: lnkd.in/e9tiPkDi #drones #cv #ai #education

📢 PeAR Seminar Series: Fast Robot Autonomy 📷 The last talk this semester is by Christophe de Wagter @dewagter (TUDelft-MAVLAB) on Efficient AI for fast flight. Details in the image! Come and join us! @WPI_Robotics #robotics #drones #ai #cv

📢 PeAR Seminar Series: Fast Robot Autonomy 📷 The next talk is by Davide Scaramuzza (University of Zurich) on Human-level Performance with Autonomous Vision-based Drones.. Details in the image! Come and join us! @WPI_Robotics #robotics #drones #ai #cv @davsca1

🐝🐝🤖🤖Spectrum News 1 made an awesome video about PeAR @WPI Robo bees: spectrumnews1.com/ma/worcester/n… Great work by Rishabh Singh #bees #robot #pearwpi #pear #drones #dronesforgood #arducopter

🐝🐝Bee Robots To Save The World🤖🤖 At the PeAR @WPI, we are working on building tiny autonomous robots to enable pollination and search and rescue using only onboard sensing and autonomy. 🎞️ lnkd.in/dVhQak7e 📰lnkd.in/d7CAxbxH Details in comments. #bee #wpi

A video of our work can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=VTEaJF… Joint work with @chahatdeep @WPI @WPI_Robotics @umiacs @umdcs @UMDRightNow #research #drones #uncertainty #NeuralNetworks #AI #computervision

1. We propose a generalized mathematical framework for estimating Heteroscadastic Aleatoric Uncertainty for any Neural Network. 2. We show that this gives rich informational cues for various robotics tasks. 3. This is super useful for tiny robots!

First paper from PeAR WPI (with PRG UMD) made it to the cover of Science Robotics @SciRobotics: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… We observed that insects use minimal information for navigation. We realized "It's not the information but uncertainty is the key!"

Imagine flexible robots that can dive, swim, climb, and crawl to assist in challenging search and rescue environments. WPI robotics engineering professor @MarkusNemitz is working to develop them. wbjournal.com/article/wpi-aw… @WPI_Robotics

Congratulations to Dr. Zhanyue (Jimmy) Zhao who completed is PhD in Robotics Engineering focused on MRI-compatible surgical robots, and I had the pleasure of hooding at the @WPI Commencement! Congrats to him and all the @WPI_Robotics graduates!!

Thrilled to celebrate @WPI_Robotics Asst. Prof. Loris Fichera @lorisfichera on receiving the prestigious @NSF #CAREER Award 🏆 for his innovative work in "Next-Generation Surgical Robots for Energy-based Surgery". Congrats on pushing the boundaries of. medical robotics! 🎉

I’m so thrilled to have won the NSF CAREER award! Over the next five years, my lab @WPI will look into energy-based tool-tissue interactions to help build the next generation of surgical robots: nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…

Congrats #WPI2023 🎉
