Hi everyone,
This Wednesday at 3pm in CB11.09.215, Ed will be presenting A Heterogeneous System of Systems Framework for Proactive Path Planning of a UAV-Assisted UGV in Uncertain Environments by Patrick Sherman and Nicola Bezzo.
Afterwards, we'll read through RA-L, Volume 10, Issue 1: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/fJ8eCzvkyVCmVD2KDH4f9T9h0mf?domain=ie...
Any papers we're interested in hearing more about will be added to the stack: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/4dXrCANpgjC1q0Wj0U8hjTGfful?domain=do...
Revised Expectations Last week we discussed how to reduce the amount of time we spend preparing presentations, now there are fewer of us attending CDMRG. The conclusion we reached was that presenters would choose between a "full" presentation (the sort of in-depth paper discussion we've been doing until now) and some kind of "secondary" presentation. The expectation is that about half of your presentations should be "full" and half "secondary", but it's up to the presenter to decide how much time they currently have to prepare when choosing their presentation type.
The exact content of a "secondary" presentation is open to interpretation, but it's expected to generate discussions lasting around an hour. The key thing is that it may be less effort to prepare, but should still be a worthwhile use of everyone's time, so "secondary" presentations don't lead to a "worse CDMRG experience" that week. Some ideas for this kind of presentation we came up with were:
* Presentation of a high-level "magazine style" paper, for example from IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine * Watching longer videos together (e.g. tutorial videos or presentations) having prepared some talking points in advance, and pausing throughout to lead discussions * Your current work, in particular if there's a problem you're currently working on that you might want some help with
But if you can think of anything else you think the group would be interested in, feel free to present it! Hopefully this will mean we can all keep having a meaningful CDMRG experience while not consuming too much of everyone's time.
The next presenters after this will be: - 05 March: Nick - 12 March: TBC
See you all there!
