We’re really excited about the speakers we have lined up, including Animesh Garg (Georgia Tech) @animesh-garg.bsky.social , Daniel Ho (1X Technologies), Hao Su (UCSD), Katerina Fragkiadki (CMU), Yilun Du (Harvard) @yilundu.bsky.social, and Russ Tedrake (TRI + MIT).

Here are a couple I’ve been involved with/seen: We presented work this year at IROS showing that you can do pose estimation by diffusing NOCS maps, naturally handling difficult practical problems like symmetry.

TurtleBots, c. 2014. My first time using Linux, in Jorge Cortes’s lab. 13/10, great little robot that contributed to science just by toting around a laptop and spinning around.

First up, Falco, circa 2013. We constructed FALCO with wet layups in a basement at UCSD for the AUVSI sUAS competition. Falco was tasked with truly wild tasks like detecting all the alphabetic letters in a field to decode a message and flying over a router to receive a message. 12/10, flew high.
