Hi everyone, This Wednesday at 3pm in CB11.09.215, we'll have a special CDMRG. It's Mason's last week, so he'll give a "postdoc defence", summarising what he's been doing in his time here. Afterwards, we'll read through the new IEEE Transactions on Field Robotics journal, Volume 1 (2024): https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/gSuZC0YKPvirK6DJ7cwf5S9Qq5v?domain=i… Any papers we're interested in hearing more about will be added to the stack: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/OIofCgZ0N1iYrVxPoTohnS4pXAU?domain=d… The next presenters after this will be: - 22 January: Nick - 29 January: James See you all there! -- Ed Bray (he/him/his) Postdoctoral Research Fellow Robotics Institute School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology University of Technology Sydney UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.

No meeting this week, returning 15 January

Hi all, As discussed last week, CDMRG won't be happening tomorrow as most people are away for the holidays. We'll return after the UTS soft closure ends. Our first presenters next year will be: 15 January: Mason 22 January: Nick Merry Christmas! [cid:6918ac11-64a9-46b4-8777-4bcd0fa5bf1e] Prompt: Create an image of some robots enjoying Australian Christmas outdoors. They should be wheeled and flying robots, not humanoids Did a good job on making something that looks like a Eucalyptus, but ChatGPT really likes humanoid robots. It's also no good at flags apparently?? -- Ed Bray (he/him/his) Postdoctoral Research Fellow Robotics Institute School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology University of Technology Sydney UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.

Hi everyone, This Wednesday at 3pm in CB11.09.215, I'll be presenting Robust Online Epistemic Replanning of Multi-Robot Missions by Lauren Bramblett, Branko Miloradovic, Patrick Sherman, Alessandro V. Papadopoulos, and Nicola Bezzo. It seems we've got a bit of catching up to do with IJRR. Let's try and look through Issues 11 & 12 of Volume 43 after my presentation: * Issue 11 (September - though confusingly issue 10 is also September) https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/WE0HCzvkyVCmN9Gy3h4fmI9TYJi?domain=j… * Issue 12 (October) https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/MweICANpgjC1J2ZPgh8h8IGXfGp?domain=j… Thanks, Ed The Stack is available here: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/KsG6CBNqjlClJBDk1cNiDI2GN7G?domain=d… -- Ed Bray (he/him/his) Postdoctoral Research Fellow Robotics Institute School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology University of Technology Sydney UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.

Hi all, [https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/GetNCWLVXkUyvzQLYi6f3IoPNA_?domain=i…] Andre's time as CDMRG coordinator is coming to an end, so the torch has been passed to me. I hope to do a better job than the AI image generator did at spelling "under"... Tomorrow at 3pm in CB11.09.215, Kosta will be presenting Multiagent Reinforcement Learning: Rollout and Policy Iteration for POMDP With Application to Multirobot Problems by Sushmita Bhattacharya, Siva Kailas, Sahil Badyal, Stephanie Gil, and Dimitri Bertsekas. Afterwards, we'll read through T-RO Volume 40, papers 101 — 125: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/CtTDCXLW2mUM3BgPNUVh2IWE37k?domain=i… P.S. I'm experimenting with message footers to save me copying the link to the stack every week. Hopefully you should see it below. If not, I'll have to try harder next week. -- Ed Bray (he/him/his) Postdoctoral Research Fellow Robotics Institute School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology University of Technology Sydney UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.
