This year, to start the fall semester, we'll have a full-day IRIM research symposium on Wednesday August 25th. Please see the planned agenda below & register soon to reserve your lunch.
This year's symposium will feature the below speakers, as well as an afternoon poster session and ample time for networking.
- Sonia Chernova | AI CARING Institute Overview
- Greg Sawicki | Augmenting Human Locomotion with Lower-limb Exoskeletons
- Matthew Gombolay | Interactive Robot Learning: From Apprenticeship to Teaming
- Harish Ravichandar | Structured Methods for an Unstructured World: Toward Reliable and Collaborative Robots
- Woonhong Yeo | Soft Nanomembrane Sensors and Electronics for Integration with Robots
- Jaydev Desai | Medical Robotics Research at the RoboMed Lab
- Gil Weinberg | Robotic Musicianship
- Samuel Coogan | Safe Autonomy from Run-Time Assurance
- Panos Tsiotras | Research Adventures at the intersection of Control and Robotics
- Frank Dellaert | Factor Graphs for Action
- Fumin Zhang | Maritime Robotic Sensing Networks
- Kyriakos Vamvoudakis | Bridging Reinforcement Learning and Motion Planning
- Sehoon Ha | Deep Reinforcement Learning for Legged Robots
- Ellen Mazumdar | Sensors, Soft Actuators, and Robotic Systems
- Ye Zhao | Resilient Locomotion and Manipulation: Symbolic-Decision-Aware Trajectory Optimization and Perception Considerations
- Jun Ueda | Safe, Secure, and Stable Motion Control of Telemanipulators
- Aaron Young | The EPIC lab: Assisting human locomotion and rehabilitation using wearable robotics and artificial intelligence (AI)
- Zsolt Kira | Adaptive and Data-Efficient Robot Learning
- Patricio Vela | Robot Autonomy from a Systems Perspective: Reliably Closing the Loop
- Charlie Kemp | From One to Many: My Personal Quest for Meaningful Mobile Manipulation

My hope is that this symposium will be a chance for us to introduce ourselves to the new PhD & MS students on campus, as well as a chance for each of us to get a better idea of what our IRIM colleagues are up to these days. With luck, by day's end there will be loads of new ideas, new collaborations, and even new friends!
