The recently launched Robotics Café is a weekly online seminar series to bring together researchers, students and industry practitioners working in the field of autonomous robotics. One of the key aims of the initiative is to provide a dedicated platform for students to present and disseminate their work, enabling broader visibility and impact across academia and industry.
Organised by P.B. Sujit (IISER Bhopal), Sandeep Manjanna (Plaksha University) and Aditya Paranjape (Monash University), the talks take place every Thursday from 17:00-18:00 Indian Standard Time. The link to watch the presentations live via Google Meet is here. Alternatively, you can catch the recordings on the Robotics Café YouTube channel.
The series kicked off with a talk from Professor Debasish Ghose (Indian Institute of Science) entitled: AERObotics: The Art of Catching Objects in the Air. The presentation explored the fascinating intersection of guidance theory and aerial robotics.
In the second lecture, Professor Arun Kumar Singh (University of Tartu) spoke about leveraging predictive uncertainty for model-based planning and control.
