…Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and ACM, and recipient of the United States Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Math, and Engineering Mentoring. Matarić is the founding director of the USC Robotics and Autonomous Systems Center. Behavior-based systems and distributed robotics fleet management Matarić made fundamental contributions to autonomous cognition and interaction. The ACM said her early work demonstrated that behavior-based systems (BBS) could be endowed with representation and have the expressive power to plan and learn. Her Toto system used BBS to learn maps online and optimize its behavior. Matarić researched distributed algorithms for…

…Standardization (ISO), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Robotic Industries Association (RIA, part of the Association for Advancing Automation or A3). In addition, the AMR Interoperability Working Group noted that hardware changes, such as sharing chargers among robots produced by different vendors, and defining interoperability for other types of robots, such as arms, were beyond its initial scope. Other groups, such as A3 or the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, are working on other aspects of interoperability, said Ryden. After some discussion, the MassRobotics group decided to initially focus on basic robot-to-robot information sharing rather…

…held by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Computer Vision Foundation in Vancouver, Canada, AI2 presented a paper on Phone2Proc. The approach involves scanning a space, creating a simulated environment, and procedurally generating thousands of scenes to train a robot for possible scenarios. AI2 claimed that Phone2Proc can more easily and quickly train robots to perform in settings such as a floor covered with toys, a room whose furniture has been moved, or a cluttered workspace. Kiana Ehsani, AI2 researcher Robotics 24/7 spoke with Kiana Ehsani, one of the researchers leading the Phone2Proc effort. She studied…

…held by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in Philadelphia. The NVIDIA Robotics Research Lab plans to present papers on how robot skills can be learned in NVIDIA Isaac Sim photorealistics, physics-accurate simulation and then transferred to real systems and environments, or Sim2Real. It will also discuss how accurate localization can improve autonomous vehicle and indoor navigation, as well as the use of AI and pose estimation for robotics development. NVIDIA will also present on how service robots can reliably manipulate deformable objects, such as sponges, mops, or bedding, in warehouses or hospitals. It will describe how systems…
