Special ECE/CSE Seminar: Subbarao Kambhampati
Challenges of Human-in-the-Loop Planning & Decision Support Subbarao Kambhampati Arizona State University October 21, 11am, ITEB 336 Abstract: Endowing an automated agent with the ability to “plan” — i.e., convert its high-level goals into an executable course of action — has been a long-standing quest in Artificial Intelligence. For much of the history of […]
Mind-controlled Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
Ashley Dumaine, an honors student studying Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), is making herself known in the world of technology. She demonstrated her independent study project titled “Mind-Controlled Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)” at Connecticut’s Invention Convention, and caught the eye of writer Erick Royer of MultiRotor Pilot Magazine. In the article on page 26 and […]
Professor Rajasekaran and others receive 1.2M NSF grant for Big Data analysis
Advances in technology have allowed researchers to produce a huge amount of data in a short amount of time. Making any meaningful sense of this information in a timely manner is the next step in “big data.” With a $1.2 million NSF grant, Sanguthevar Rajasekaran, Director of the Booth Engineering Center for Advanced Technologies, and […]
