#robotics X, I’m looking for a “definitive” text that surveys modern robotics, akin to George Bekey’s text “Autonomous Robots: From biological inspiration to implementation and control” but more recent. Any pointers?
So exciting! Go @sydneyskybetter and Rishika! Looking forward to listening
Our paper on real-time decentralized cooperative #robot navigation is online! No preplanning or comm b/w robots, navigate through cluttered environments by sensing position only, while significant reducing deadlocks. Paper: doi.org/10.1007/s10514… Video: youtu.be/Jrdvf2qyzrg
Attendees at #SXSW 2024 would love to see @NoraRobots, NASA JPL's Amir Rahmani, @jumpjoe78, and me talk about SWARM ROBOTICS, right?? Please vote for our topic on the SXSW PanelPicker® shar.es/afNluG

Congrats @anoop_kiran18! Welcome to brown!
Fluids and thermal sciences grad student of @NoraRobots and @ksbreuer Anoop Kiran (@anoop_kiran18) named one of 20 grad students in world likely to change the face of the aerospace and defense industry. engineering.brown.edu/news/2022-09-0…
I'm revamping my grad course on coordinated mobile #robotics. The focus is on #multirobot systems but it's self contained and will cover topics relevant to multi-robot systems. Suggestions on papers to include as assigned readings and why they're important?
I know I said I missed the snow when I was in SoCal but yesterday it hit 60° and this morning I woke up to this
I need to add that when I said colleagues I also meant the staff of @CSatUSC. They are an amazing team and were always there and ready with assistance/solutions when I needed them. They also became my friends! I will miss you, too!

It's about time I announce I've officially moved to @BrownUniversity! I will be forever grateful to my colleagues and for all I was empowered to accomplish @USCViterbi and @CSatUSC. I'm excited for all the opportunities this move brings!
@USCViterbi SHINE Students: 🗓 This afternoon, Eric Ewing from Prof. @NoraRobots's @uscact will be leading a SHINE session on Machine Learning from 1-3 pm! Hope to see you there!
Fun moderating the discussion on Robot Swarms in the Real World with panelists @NoraRobots, @spring_berman, Dan Goldman, and Rafael de la Guardia. Well done to @SiddharthMayya, Gennaro Notomista, @RoderichGross and @vijay_r_kumar for the great workshop! sites.google.com/view/realworld…

Today I am thankful for my health, job, neighbors, & above all, for my family. The loud moments and the quiet moments, this amazing time with them and the time to myself, the hard times and the easy times, the tears and the laughs. There is no one better to quarantine with.
