Manipulation Discussion:

This series explores advances in robot manipulation, with a focus on learning based methods. Students present cutting edge research results both from the community and their own work. Faculty and students both attend to create a community for feedback and learning.

Learning and Control Seminar:

This biweekly series explores the dynamic intersection of control and learning. It covers a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, learning for dynamical systems, RL/optimal control, online learning/adaptive control, interactive decision-making and applications to various real-world systems.

Twice a year, we run an internal Robot Learning Workshop. Students and faculty from across CMU gather for a full day of socializing, research talks and panels. As the largest collection of robot learning labs, this provides an opportunity for students (and external partners) to get a sneak preview at the future of the field. Short-term via updates from students about recently submitted work and longer term via PI presentations and panels. The format changes each year, but an example schedule is below:

10 AM Students present (4 mins) on recently submitted work
11 AM Students present (2 mins) on ongoing work
12 PM Lunch
1 PM Faculty give high level presentations of their lab’s future plans
2 PM Panel discussion
3 PM Chat with other students with snacks

With such a large community, work is presented from core Robotics (e.g. ICRA, RSS, & IROS), Computer Vision (e.g. CVPR & I/ECCV), Machine Learning (e.g. ICLR, ICML, & NeurIPS) and Natural Language Processing (e.g. *CL & CoLM).
