ASU Robotics

It was lots of fun catching up with some old friends and colleagues who were in town for the South West Robotics Symposium organized by my @ASURobotics colleagues (h/t @nakulgopalan). Matthias Scheutz, @DrScaz, @gauravsukhatme, @karpase (w/ Yochanites @biswas_2707, @durgesh_kalwar, @PalodVardh12428 & @sachingrover)

Thanks @ASURobotics colleagues for the wonderful organization and lively discussion! @rao2z @asurobot @spring_berman @huang21608 @jd_knight @LindsaySanneman @jinwanxin @kunalgarg94 @JiefengS @Ransalu

How to stack stones with robots to make a walls or structures? Nils Napp shares some impressive robot capabilities in his talk at SWRS.

An exciting Plenary talk on socially assistive robotics by @DrScaz at SWRS. There was a great discussion on challenges in deploying robots in homes and the use of LLMs in socially assistive settings.

ASU robotics is hosting SWRS again this year on Oct 31st and Nov 1 with a great slate of speakers at Memorial Union on ASU's campus. Our keynote speakers are Brian Scassellati (@DrScaz) and Gaurav Sukhatme (@gauravsukhatme). The full list of speakers is at swrobotics.engineering.asu.edu/speakers/

Work from our lab with Weiwei Gu (weiweigu1998.github.io), Suresh Kondepudi and Lixiao Huang covered by Techxplore. The work aims to connect human robot dialog and continual visual skill learning with real users. @SCAI_ASU @ASURobotics

#SouthwestRoboticsSymposium2024 This year's theme is "Robotics for Social Good." Our speakers will feature leaders in the fields of Planning & Learning, Safety, Medical Robotics, Human-Robot Systems, and Soft Robotics. Check out the lineup of our speakers: swrobotics.engineering.asu.edu/2024speakers/

#SouthwestRoboticsSymposium2024 will be held on Oct. 31-Nov. 1, 2024, at Arizona State University’s Tempe campus! @ASU. For more details and to register, visit swrobotics.engineering.asu.edu! #Robotics #Innovation #TechSummit #SWRS2024 #ASU

Nakul Gopalan (@nakulgopalan ) gave a talk about "Interactive Task Learning" at the Workshop on Learning Effective Abstractions for Planning (leap-workshop.github.io) at CoRL 2023 #CoRL2023

@Yezhou_Yang presented his work on "(Compositional and Robust) visual concept grounding for Lifelong (robot) learning" at the Workshop on Bridging the Gap between Cognitive Science and Robot Learning in the Real World: Progresses and New Directions! #CoRL23

Looking forward to presenting tomorrow at the #CoRL soft robot learning workshop, where I'll be discussing multimodal learning for soft robots! Website: alpha-mdf.github.io Location: Hub 2 time: 2:30-3:30 pm Acknowledge my co-authors: Yifan @yfzhoucs , and Heni @asurobot

Kalman Filtering + Deep Attention Models = LOVE ❤️ #CoRL '23 paper: we identify a link between Kalman filters and neural attention mechanisms. Idea: the Kalman-gain is a form of attention! No need to tweak parameters. Check website and code: alpha-mdf.github.io @ASURobotics

This enable robot data collection at scale with novice users remotely! Paper, and code at [1] arxiv.org/pdf/2306.13192… [2] github.com/wearable-motio…

The Interactive Robotics Laboratory at ASU was a finalist for the IROS Best RoboCup Paper Award. Fabian Weigend, Shubham Sonawani, Michael Drolet and Heni Ben Amor (@asurobot) presented robot control from the sensor data of a single smartwatch.

Andrew Boateng (@lifesnr) from CRSLAB presented his work with Dr. Wenlong Zhang (@asuriselab) and Dr. Yu Zhang (@Yu_Tony_Zhang) — “Implicit Projection: Improving Team Situation Awareness for Tacit Human-Robot Interaction via Virtual Shadows” at IROS this year. #IROS2023

Ifrah Idrees (@IfrahIdrees) just presented work with Prof Gopalan (@nakulgopalan) -- Improved Inference of Human Intent by Combining Plan Recognition and Language Feedback at IROS 2023! Videos here - youtu.be/Om91zBiDDEY?si…

Fuchen Chen, from the IDEAlab at ASU, presented on "Development of a Dynamic Quadruped with Tunable, Compliant Legs" on Monday at IROS2023.  The robot can trot at 0.52 m/s or 4.4 body lengths per second with a 3.2 cost of transport (COT)!
