PhD Proposal Review: Robust Observer Structures and Control Design for Linear and Nonlinear Dynamical Systems with Applications Anahita Moradmand Location: Zoom Link Abstract: This thesis focuses on special class of observers and controllers for different and seperable nonlinear systems. In the first step, a robust fault detection approach using observers for linear systems is proposed […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Domain Design Space Exploration: Designing a Unified Platform for a Domain of Streaming Applications Jinghan Zhang Location: ISEC 362 or Zoom Link Abstract: Many demanding streaming applications share functional and structural similarities with other applications in their respective domain, e.g., video analytics, software-defined radio, and radar. This opens the opportunity for specialization […]

Distinguished Speaker Series in Robotics Gregory S. Chirikjian: Robot Imagination: Affordance-Based Reasoning about Unknown Objects Location: ISEC Auditorium or Zoom Link Abstract: Today’s robots are very brittle in their intelligence. This follows from a legacy of industrial robotics where robots pick and place known parts repetitively. For humanoid robots to function as servants in the […]
