Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning for Robot Navigation and Manipulation

LSRC D106

While there have been huge advances in Machine Learning in recent years, many of the successes have relied on immense amounts of training data. Especially for sequential-decision-making tasks (the realm of reinforcement learning), obtaining such data from online experience can take a very long time. On the other hand, learning can often be dramatically accelerated […]

Bot Blitz

This workshop engages students in an exciting, interactive scavenger hunt and rescue mission, using coding and robotics to simulate a real-world challenge. It fosters teamwork, critical thinking, and hands-on learning with the Sphero RVR+ robot, enhancing students' understanding of sensors, programming, and robotics applications.

Duke Advanced Multifunctional Metamaterials Workshops 2024

The inaugural International Duke AMM Workshop aims to foster cutting-edge research and real-world applications of electromagnetic, acoustical, mechanical, and quantum metamaterials. This inaugural workshop marks the launch of the Metamaterials Center and will play a pivotal role in uniting metamaterials researchers worldwide. The two-day meeting will facilitate collaboration and coordination, present a unifying vision for […]

DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Markus J. Buehler

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

Abstract: For centuries, researchers have sought out ways to connect disparate areas of knowledge. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we can now rigorously explore relationships that span across distinct areas - such as, mechanics and biology, or science and art - to deepen our understanding, to accelerate innovation, and to drive scientific discovery.
