Lund University's research conference on sustainable development 4th of December - spread the info!
by Fredrik Tufvesson 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

Dear ELLIIT and profile area researchers, Lund university is organizing a joint research conference on sustainable development, which this year will take place 4th of December. I especially would like to urge young researchers within ELLIIT to send in abstracts, but of course all researchers are welcome to send in contributions. The deadline to send in an abstract is 8th of October. Best regards Fredrik Lund University invites to its 4th official research conference on sustainable development 4th of December at Stadshallen in Lund The Lund University Conference on Knowledge for Sustainable Development is an interdisciplinary research conference that aims to highlight sustainability research at Lund University. With this year's sub-title Our shared future in times of global conflict and crisis, the conference addresses how global conflict and crises affect research and the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. How do conflicts and crises (past and present) influence the ambition to build more sustainable societies and what challenges do we face as a result? And how do we tackle or solve these challenges as scientists, policymakers or as other stakeholders? We welcome both early-career and senior researchers at Lund University to submit their research contributions relating to sustainable development. The deadline to send in an abstract is 8th of October.

AID Breakfast seminar on Sep 17 @ CS with Yiannis Karayiannidis - sign-up by Sep 11
by Pontus Giselsson 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

Please join us for the next breakfast seminar sponsored by LTH Profile Area: AI and Digitalization <https://www.lth.se/english/research/profile-areas/pillars-of-ai-and-digital…> (AID) with Yiannis Karayiannidis, CS on *Sep 17 at 09:00-10:00 *in E:2116.**There will be* free breakfast.* *** Please sign up here <https://forms.gle/KHhihTUUrawVHo736> by Sep 11 **** *When*: Tuesday September 17^th at 09:00-10:00, E building, E:2116 (second floor) * * *Speaker:* Yiannis Karayiannidis *Title:* Robotic systems that React, Interact, Adapt and Learn * * *Abstract:* In the rapidly evolving field of robotics, a significant shift is taking place: the move from traditional industrial applications to dynamic human-centered environments. This transition demands robotic systems that are not just safe and collaborative but also highly adaptive and capable of learning through interaction from their surroundings. In this talk, I will focus on adaptive real-time solutions for reactive trajectory generation, force-based robotic manipulation and grasping implemented on collaborative robots but also learning-based solutions for problems that involve deformable objects showcasing the complex dynamics at play. I will discuss how haptic sensing can be utilized to address uncertainty and facilitate adaptability, and how dual arm robots can show increased flexibility and independence from a structured environment. To conclude, I will highlight the essential synergy between navigation, manipulation, and grasping, emphasizing the intricate challenges involved in developing a cohesive robotic system that seamlessly coordinates the functionalities of hand, arm, and body within complex dynamic environments. *Upcoming breakfast seminar* The breakfast seminars are scheduled once per month with the main purpose of triggering multi-disciplinary discussions and potential collaborations. These are the upcoming planned slots: * *Oct 8*, 09:00-10:00 @ EIT * *Nov 5*, 09:00-10:00 @ Control * *Dec 3*, 09:00-10:00 @ Math Speaker and registration details will be sent out closer to each slot. Welcome! The AID breakfast seminar coordinators.

Visitor this week: Bethany Caldwell
by Pontus Giselsson 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

Dear all, This week we will be visited by Bethany Caldwell, a PhD student from University of South Australia. She is working on first-order methods for optimal control and will give a seminar tomorrow, Tuesday at 13:15-14:00. Talk details below (that will be announced today hopefully). You are all most welcome! She will be sitting at Luka's desk. Let me know if you want a slot to discuss with her at some point this week! /Pontus The Douglas–Rachford algorithm for optimal control Abstract: The Douglas–Rachford algorithm has been applied to many optimization problems due to their simplicity and efficiency but the application of this algorithm to optimal control is less common. In this talk we utilize these methods to solve continuous-time linear-quadratic optimal control problems. Usually one would apply a direct discretization approach where the original problem is reduced to a large scale finite-dimensional problem and solved using some numerical solver. In this approach reformulate the original problem into a problem of minimizing the sum of two functions and apply the Douglas–Rachford algorithm. We provide numerical experiments comparing the performance of the Douglas–Rachford algorithm and the AMPL–Ipopt suite.
