Seminar: Safety and efficiency for autonomous vehicles through online learning

Please join us on Thursday, February 28, 11 a.m. to Noon in ETRL room 101 for a presentation by Dr. Zachary Sunberg, Postdoctoral Scholar, University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Sunberg will give a talk on how autonomous systems have the potential to help humans in a variety of ways, from traveling to inhospitable destinations and performing tasks that are impossible for humans, to working directly alongside us. To be effective, these systems must accomplish tasks efficiently in terms of time and other resources and do so safely. This talk will discuss formulating autonomous vehicle control problems as POMDPs (partially observable Markov decision process) and solving them approximately online.

Meet the speaker before the seminar in ETRL room 119 from 10:30 to 10:50 a.m. We look forward to having you join us!
