Excited to share our paper on the SET Perceptual Factors Framework was accepted to #PTAS! 🚗🤖
SET helps autonomous systems identify and model how weather, glare, sensor limits, and other factors impact perception-making safety risks more transparent and building public trust.
Thank you Dr. Morehouse and #FEF for this opportunity, especially Taylor Rodman, Ph.D. (@itsDrRodman) for the invitation! See everyone again next year! 🤞🏾

“To #localize? Or not to localize?”
I will address this question at the 2024 #IEEE #SSRR conference today in Session 2! 🤖
This starts a line of research challenging our traditional “sense => localize => plan => act” paradigm & proposes that we localize only when necessary. 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you to:
- My collaborators at @umdcs: Kasra Torshizi and @ptokekar!
- My funders: @UofMaryland #Presidents #Postdoc Fellowship, @UMD_postdocs, & #RISEUPP (riseupp.org/).
- #YiannisAloimonos (from @prgumd) for the Shakespeare-inspired line!

🚀 @troidre will present at the landmark #ICRA40 @ieee_ras_icra 🇳🇱
📅 Sep 24 1st interactive session
🤖 Curious about robot localization? We use POMDPs to decide when robots should localize, especially when the traditional paradigm is slow!

🤖 Curious about novel work in robot localization and decision-making?
Our research challenges the traditional paradigm of robot localization. In short, we used #POMDP to decide when robots should localize, especially when the traditional paradigm is not advantageous!
🚀 Thrilled to announce: I'm presenting at the landmark 40th IEEE #ICRA in Rotterdam, Netherlands! 🇳🇱
📅 Mark your calendars for Sep 24th during the first interactive session!

PhDs can be great fun, but don’t need to be a Marathon.

Proud to host these amazing Science Terp alums today for an insightful panel discussion! @Namzo098, @kyeishalaurence, Willie May, Asha Willis and Sherita Hill Golden, we are so proud of all you have accomplished and can't wait to see what's next for you!

Won best poster at @MultiRobotSys (#IEEE #MRS2023) for the work titled “When to Localize?”! Thanks to the amazing people who stopped by the poster to talk!
Thanks also to my mentor @ptokekar, my host institution @umiacs at #UMD, and @UMD_postdocs and @CRAtweets for funding!

A very cool profile of my student, Harnaik Dhami. Very proud of the work Naik’s been doing.
Naik is a rockstar “full-stack” roboticist working on planning and perception for aerial robots. He’ll be graduating next year, and is on the industry job market!

Excited to be at #IROS2023 with my team! We’ll be presenting four papers. Details in the thread below!
How can we find collision- and occlusion-free #robot (sensor) states that minimize a task's error (like #localization) AND consider the environment's effect on the sensor? 🤔
Check out our latest work, #DyFOS.
