I'm really excited for our upcoming #CoRL2023 workshop on learning effective abstractions for planning (LEAP)! The deadline to submit a paper is coming up quickly (Sep 30). We're accepting submissions in both the CoRL or ICRA formats. Hope to see you there!

Off to Detroit for #IROS2023 🤖! My lab will be presenting three papers during the conference. Feel free to reach out or track me down if you'd like to say hi or hear more about our work.

My student Raihan Islam Arnob will be presenting our #IROS2023 paper this afternoon! Stop by (or read our blog post linked below) if you’re interested in effective and reliable long-horizon navigation in unmapped building-scale environments.

Just got back from a great visit to Arizona State University (thanks to Nakul Gopalan for hosting me!) where I talked about some of my lab's ongoing work in making long-horizon planning in partially revealed environments more performant and reliable.

Until the Apple Vision Pro lets me quite literally surround myself with Emacs buffers, I don't think I'll be getting one.

With all the acceptance news RE IEEE ICRA, my lab got... 0 papers accepted!🙃 A reminder that not all good papers get accepted & rejection can be an opportunity for further improvement. Still proud of my lab's work and excited to share (just a bit later than expected)!

Amazing how quickly a huge project can go from high-effort-not-nearly-done to *done*. Been working on a grant for weeks and putting time towards it nearly every day and then suddenly 🎉 every section is drafted, every figure made, no more todo items... 🫠

On my way to Baltimore to attend the NSF FRR/NRI PI meeting and excited to share some recent work and talk robotics for the next couple days 🤖. Be sure to say hello if you see me!

Everyone in robotics should give the new US Robotics Roadmap a read. Happy to have been part of this conversation!

Most student authors (or other first time BibTeX users) don't realize that extra curly brackets around an {ACRONYM} are needed to preserve capitalization. It's *such* a small thing, but it makes clear the bibliography hasn't been proofread (and doesn't look good in a thesis 👨‍🎓)

We're excited to announce the third workshop on LEAP: Learning Effective Abstractions for Planning, to be held at #CoRL2025 Conference on Robot Learning! Early submission deadline: Aug 12 Late submission deadline: Sep 5 Website link below 👇
