Robotics and Automation in Pasadena

The 2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation will be taking place in Pasadena May 19-23, with open technical talks on the 21, 22 and 23rd. We are presenting a paper on Friday at 2:40pm entitled "A Natural Gesture Interface for Operating Robotic Systems" written by my students Anqi Xu, Junaed Sattar and myself.

Early in the week there are various meeting and workshops. With any luck, I'll be able to visit a friend living in Los Angeles.

Fridays's plenary talk is called Brain-controlled Robots by Dr. Mitsuo Kawato, Director of ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories and should be interesting. There has been a lot of work on direct human-machine neural interfaces in the last 5 or 10 years, and ATR is a leader for one exciting class of such research. I'll be sure to at least twitter about it.
