Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering. Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

To realise this potential, an autonomous humanoid robot must be capable of planning the right set of long-horizon actions under the conditions of uncertainty and geometric constraints that characterize real-world environments. This thesis proposes long-horizon planning approaches for humanoid robots under conditions of uncertainty and geometric constraints that are typical of real-world environments. The specific contributions of this thesis are, 1) A reactive and efficient task planning approach for planning under low-entropy conditions in the robot's belief of the state of the world, 2) A reactive and probabilistic long-horizon planning approach for long-horizon tasks under state estimation and action uncertainty and 3) An optimal long-horizon planning approach for geometrically constrained tasks based on mixed integer convex programming. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approaches presented in this thesis on object rearrangement and mobile manipulation tasks in a domestic environment using the Agility Robotics Digit Bipedal Humanoid Robot and evaluate the presented approaches on planning time and task success rate metrics.",https://events.umich.edu/event/109536,"Ford Robotics Building",2300,"Ford Robotics Building",,"Engineering Michigan Robotics Robotics","Michigan Robotics" 108124-21818969,"2023-07-31 14:00:00","2023-07-31 15:00:00","Ask a Grad Student!—Advice Panel for Incoming First-Generation Students","Ask A Grad Student! - Advice Panel for Incoming First-Generation Students","Workshop / Seminar","Grad School 101 invites you to attend our inaugural “Ask a Grad Student!”—Affinity Advice Week+!

All concerts are free and family-friendly! This year’s series features performers from across North America and the world playing the great 53-bell Charles Baird Carillon in Burton Tower. The carillon is an outdoor instrument, and attendees are encouraged to bring picnic blankets, chairs, and anything else they’d like to feel comfortable, and to seat themselves anywhere on Ingalls Mall. Concert programs and a carillon coloring book for kids are available from concert staff at or near the tower door. Restrooms are available in the Michigan League.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Andrea McCrady was appointed Dominion Carillonneur of the Peace Tower Carillon in Ottawa, Canada in 2008. She began playing the carillon in 1971 at Trinity College, Hartford, CT (B.A., 1975). While in Europe on a post-graduate fellowship, she studied at the carillon schools in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. During medical school at McGill University, Montreal, she was carillonneur at St. Joseph’s Oratory, followed by her hospital residency in Toronto, where she played at the University of Toronto and the Canadian National Exhibition. From 1990–2008, she coordinated the carillon program at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Spokane, WA, where she also practiced family medicine. In 2008, she retired from medicine upon receiving a Bachelor of Music magna cum laude from the University of Denver. She is an instructor in carillon studies at Carleton University in Ottawa. Dr. McCrady served for many years on the Board of the GCNA, and as its President from 1988–89. She has co-chaired the Ronald Barnes Memorial Grant Fund and the Heritage Music Committee, and served as secretary of the World Carillon Federation. In her spare time, Dr. McCrady explores the great Canadian outdoors by hiking, canoeing, and skiing.
