Research to remotely pilot robots and improve how the machines model construction environments is well underway at UC San Diego. The team, led by electrical and computer engineering professors Truong Nguyen and Nikolay Atanasov, is looking for ways to integrate robotics into the construction industry and improve the 3D models and mapping they use to […]
UC San Diego Today || Dirty, dull and dangerous: these are the types of jobs most fit for robotization. Yet, equipping robots to navigate dynamic environments and perform complex tasks is a tall order — even more so in the construction industry. University of California San Diego Electrical and Computer Engineering Professors Truong Nguyen and […]
Koushanfar is among the 170 fellows announced by the NAI this year whose innovations are making significant tangible societal and economic impacts today and will well into the future. Election to NAI Fellow is the highest professional distinction awarded solely to academic inventors.
TILOS members, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students will present more than two dozen research results at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), December 10-15, 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The inaugural Curiosity Ignited academic symposium explored topics of AI and its connection to interdisciplinary research at UC San Diego. TILOS co-PI and Networks team co-lead Tara Javidi explained that much of her work looks at how scientific discovery can be done faster and at scale, “adding finesse to historic technology in a responsible way.”
AsiaTechDaily || An interview with TILOS Robotics team member Hao Su, cofounder and chief technology officer of Hillbot AI and associate professor of Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego.
UC San Diego Today || The Foundations and Realization of Open, Accessible Design (OpenROAD) project, lead by TILOS Chips team member and distinguished professor of Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering Dr. Andrew B. Kahng, democratizes silicon innovation for both students and chip designers.
UC San Diego Today || From better algorithms for self-driving vehicles, to better solutions for robotics surgery, and better ways for robots to manipulate objects, researchers at UC San Diego are presenting their work at the IROS 2024 conference October 14 to 18 in Abu Dhabi.
The Robot Report || Dr. Henrik Christensen, main editor of the U.S. robotics roadmap, discusses the intersection of technology and federal policy, emphasizing the need for more attention and funding for the sector. He discusses the challenges of reshoring manufacturing, the implications of the current presidential campaigns on robotics, and the importance of tariffs and immigration […]
New Scientist || Andrew Kahng [of UC San Diego] ran a public benchmarking effort that tried to replicate Google’s AI method [of chip design] and found it did not consistently outperform a human expert or conventional computer algorithms.
