New video of Amazon trialing humanoid robots in US warehouses: They currently employ 1.6 million people.
@kingstonzak, @KavrakiLab and I have new work on massively accelerating robot motion planning (planning for the @FRANKAEMIKA Panda in 40 μs - about 500x faster than MoveIt!) on ordinary CPUs/SoCs: arxiv.org/abs/2309.14545
Excited to share this study with @kingstonzak @LydiaKavraki @KavrakiLab about the privacy implications of robot motion planning. Intelligent #robotics might be vulnerable to unique threats to privacy. Check us out @ieeeiros @anucecc @ANUComputing @roboticsANUComp @RiceCompSci
TLDR 2023 at Rice University is happening soon! See here: bit.ly/44XE8Kp Currently, we are sold out, but feel free to get on the waitlist in case spots will open! Feel free to submit your posters or whether you are interested for a spotlight talk!
📈 The School of Engineering at @RiceUniversity is growing with the hiring of 21 new faculty members — spanning all nine departments and establishing the school’s prominence in our key research areas. Meet our new faculty members: bit.ly/47PA1SW
🔥🔥 Looking for attending a fun workshop on cool topics at an amazing university campus? Look no further! 🔥🔥 --What: Texas Colloquium on Distributed Learning at Rice University, Houston. -- When/Where: September 28th-29th. See here: bit.ly/44XE8Kp
How can you teach a robot of the future the recipe for apple pie? Check our (@shloksobtii @LydiaKavraki) work at @ieee_ras_icra on inference of temporal tasks from demonstrations using experiment design. @KavrakiLab @ANUComputing @anucecc @RiceUniversity #robotics #ai #hri

Get to know our December Member of the Month, César Uribe! César Uribe joined Rice University in January 2021 as the Louis Owen Assistant Professor for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Read more about César here: bit.ly/3gKH9dy
MotionBenchMaker is an open-source motion planning benchmarking tool. @KavrakiLab #robotics researchers, including Rice CS' @CChamzas & @QuinteroPCarlos, developed the tool to help standardize robot motion planning algorithm evaluations. bit.ly/3PuoMGN
Coffee & Food for Thought: Algorithms & Machine Learning continues this Wed 11/2 with ECE's César A. Uribe. He'll present "Hyperfast Second-Order Local Solvers for Efficient Statistically Preconditioned Distributed Optimization." 2-3pm in DH3092. RiceCSFoodForThought.eventbrite.com
Congratulations to Rice CS faculty members @LydiaKavraki and @MarcieOMalley on being named to the iROS list of 35 top women scientists in #robotics, energy and science. The announcement was made at the @iros2022 Conference in Kyoto. #iros2022 bit.ly/3Fivtca
Kavraki Lab's @kingstonzak was a finalist for the "Best Paper Award for Industrial Robotics with Real-World Applications" at #IROS2022! Congratulations to Zak!
We're super excited about this workshop, coming up Oct. 23 at #iros2022! We've got a great slate of speakers and contributed papers studying motion planner eval. and dataset gen. We're looking forward to the discussions! Come by if you're in Kyoto (Room 12/J), or join online!

Excited to attend ISRR this week in Geneva 🇨🇭! I will be presenting our paper "Efficient Task Planning using Abstract Skills and Dynamic Road Map Matching" (with @KavrakiLab and @vardi) on Thursday! Check it out here: researchgate.net/publication/36…
The #ICRA2023 paper submission deadline is fast approaching - 15 September! Don't miss out, more info here ➡️ icra2023.org/programme/call…
Rice & @NASA have extended the Space Act Agreement. The success of previous collaborations, such as those by @LydiaKavraki in the #Robonaut program & @MarcieOMalley, whose students have worked as NASA interns, was key to negotiating the extension. @KavrakiLab
