CS Robotics Seminar 236824

In this seminar we will study recent advancements in Multi Agent Path Finding (MAPF) – The problem of coordinating the movement of a fleet of agents or robots. This decades-old family of problems, which has been intensively studied by the robotics and AI communities, has applications in diverse settings including assembly, evacuation, micro-droplet manipulation and search-and-rescue.

One specific application which we will concentrate on is the logistics domain: Modern warehouses store inventory pods where a large number of robots autonomously pick up, carry and release the pods from their storage locations to designated dropoff locations where needed goods are manually removed from the pods (to be packaged and then shipped to customers). The successful use of robots in warehouses led to a multi-billion industry led by tech-giants such as Amazon robotics and Alibaba.

We will meet every Wednesday between 16:30-18:30 (exact room TBD). Additional details can be found here .

Technion Robotics Seminar

I am co-organizing the Technion Robotics Seminar together with Vadim Indelman, Erez Karpas, Aviv Tamar and Amir Degani. This is a campus-wide seminar, aimed at everyone who is interested in robotics. We will meet every other Monday at 12:30 at Taub 337 (CS building) starting March 30'th.

Advanced topics in robotics 236610

In this course we study different aspects of algorithmic motion planning. We will cover the fundamentals of robot motion planning (configurations spaces, exact methods for low-dimensional systems and then study more practical approaches for high-dimensional systems (sampling-based methods, search-based methods and more). Finally, we will see how these methods are used in different robotic applications such as minimally-invasive medical devices. Additional details can be found here .
