Prof Oliveira is Head of the Bio-inspired Computation Lab (UFU). She works at the School of Computer Science, at the Federal University of Uberlandia (UFU), Brazil. Previously, she worked at Mackenzie Presbyterian University also in Brazil. She received her PhD in Computer Science from the Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA-Brazil) in 1999. She spent a sabbatical year at the Robotics Lab at HWU (Edinburgh, UK) in 2013. Her main research interests are the joint application of cellular automata, evolutionary computation and other bio-inspired models in the solution of applied problems.
Professor David Lane, CBE FREng FRSE, Director of the Edinburgh Centre of Robotics, has been named co-chair of the Robotics Growth Partnership alongside Paul Clarke CBE, Chief Technology Officer at the online shopping and robotics giant, Ocado.
The ministerial appointments were announced recently by the Minister of State at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Chris Skidmore MP, during a series of speeches emphasising the Government's commitment to realising investment of 2.4% of GDP in research and development by 2027.
Chris will be presenting:
- Online Gait Transitions and Disturbance Recovery for legged Robots via the Feasible Impulse Set. C. Boussema, et al. (2019).
The next IPAB workshop will take place on 18/07/2019 at 12:45 in room 4.31/4.33 (pastries will be served). Barbara Webb will be speaking.
Title: Object handling by insects
Students from the Centre successfully hosted the third annual student conference held jointly with the EPSRC CDTs in Bristol, Edinburgh and Oxford on the 3rd and 4th June. Fellow students from Bristol and Oxford arrived in Edinburgh on the Sunday evening and had the opportunity to join on a bus tour of the beautiful city.
There will be a guest speaking at the CISA Seminar on the 9th July. Prof. Toby Walsh (Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence) will be speaking on 'AI & Ethics: the view down under' in G.07 at 2pm.
There will be refreshments after the Seminar in the café area. Please register to this event. Link below.
Abstract
RAS CDT student, Christian Rauch attended the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Montreal, Canada from 20th -24th May.
ICRA is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s flagship conference, attracting 4145 participants from 71 different countries.
Christian presented his recent work on articulated tracking and took the opportunity to discuss his research with others working in the same area.
