LPCN members Michele Persiani and Maitreyee Tewari also participated and presented at ‘Robots for Assisted Living Workshop’ in IROS-2018. Maitreyee’s research focuses on building and implementing hybrid (machine learning and formal grammars) dialogue models for communication between robots and humans, While Michele builds deep learning based models for intention recognition from natural language. They presented their on-going research to one of the workshops and below are glimpses of the same.
Here are some robots and persons enjoying each other’s company. This conference got very popular because the industry and research came together to join hands and discuss how this collaboration can be strengthened. To name some of the cool robotics companies Boston Dynamics US, ABB Switzerland, PAL Robotics Spain, HIL Japan, Kuka Germany, Fanuc Japan, iCub IIT Italy just to name a few.
