WiCS's first meeting (TODAY 9/22 @ 3:30 p.m.) will be a "Welcome!" ice
cream social. Come find out more about WiCS!
We'll also feature a guest speaker, Kristen Stubbs. Kristen is a
human-robot interaction researcher who recently completed her PhD in
Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University. Kristen will discuss her work
on two projects involving robotic exploration: the Life in the Atacama
project, in which a team of scientists explored the Atacama Desert of
Chile with a semi-autonomous rover; and the Personal Exploration Rover
exhibit, in which museum visitors and employees controlled a miniature
Mars rover to learn about robotic autonomy and exploration. Kristen's
thesis work focused on how to build common ground between people and
robots collaborating on remote exploration tasks. Two cool events in
one!
See you in the CS library (OS 219a) today at 3:30pm.
Thanks!
Kate
WiCS President
