RI Seminar: Matthew Johnson-Roberson : Lessons from the Field

Matthew Johnson-Roberson Professor / Director of RI Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University February 4, 2022 Lessons from the Field: Deep Learning and Machine Perception for field robots Abstract: Mobile robots now deliver vast amounts of sensor data from large unstructured environments. In attempting to process and interpret this data there are many unique challenges in bridging the gap between prerecorded data sets and the field. This talk will present recent work addressing the application of machine learning techniques to mobile robotic perception. We will discuss solutions to the assessment of risk in self-driving vehicles, thermal cameras for object detection and mapping and finally object detection and grasping and manipulation in underwater contexts. Real field data will guide this process and we will show results on deployed field robotic vehicles. Brief Bio: Matthew Johnson
