Invitation til gæsteforelæsning
Af Mette Holm Smith, Uddannelseskoordinator, Software

Multi-Robot Intelligence – gæsteforelæsing af Manuela M. Veloso, Herbert A. Simon Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

I forbindelse med lanceringen af den nye SDT-specialisering i ”Modern AI” kommer den kendte robot-forsker Manuela M. Veloso og afholder en gæsteforelæsning med titlen Multi-Robot Intelligence: Teamwork and Learning from Demonstration.

Forelæsningen finder sted på IT-Universitetet fredag den 16. januar kl. 9-11 i Auditorium 2.

Manuela M. Veloso har siden 1998 beskæftiget sig med robotics og er President of the International RoboCup Federation, hvor robotter spiller fodbold mod hinanden.

Kl. 9.30-10.00: Præsentation af SDT specialisering "Modern AI" v.Lektor Rune Møller Jensen og adjunkt Georgios N. Yannakakis. Læs om specialiseringen "Modern AI"
Kl. 10.00-11.00: Multi-Robot Intelligence: Teamwork and Learning from Demonstration v. Manuela M. Veloso

Abstract
Manuela M. Veloso
Computer Science Department
Carnegie Mellon University

Robots are physical artifacts with a seamless integration of perception, cognition, and action. I will focus on teams of intelligent autonomous robots performing tasks in highly uncertain domains.

Robots need to jointly assess the state of their environment, communicate with each other, make decisions, execute actions towards the achievement of team objectives, and learn from observation and feedback based on the outcome of their actions.

I will discuss in particular how robots can learn to perform tasks from demonstration from humans. I will present algorithms and results of learning by demonstration with multiple robots.

The presentation is based on joint work with several of my doctoral students.

Short Bio
Manuela M. Veloso is Herbert A. Simon Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon. She holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and an M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon.

Veloso researches in planning, control learning, and execution for multirobot teams. Her algorithms address uncertain, dynamic, and adversarial environments. With her students, Veloso has developed teams of robot soccer agents, which have been RoboCup world champions several times. In general, she cares about applications of multiple robots in indoor environments.

Veloso is a Fellow of the American Association of Artificial Intelligence and President of the International RoboCup Federation. She was awarded an NSF Career Award and the Allen Newell Medal for Excellence in Research.

Veloso is the author of one book on "Planning by Analogical Reasoning" and editor of several other books. She is also an author in over 200 journal articles and conference papers.
