SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nibi Anishinaabe Ikwewag Inaakonigewin
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, Anishnaabe Ikwewag (women) have carried a special responsibility to nibi (water)\, the giver of life and a connection among people\, community\, and the natural world. Join indigenous women from across the Great Lakes to explore this sacred relationship\, the legacy of Nokimis Josephine Mandamin-ba and the water walkers\, and the future of women-led water protection and stewardship. \n\nPanelists:\nMyrna Kicknosway\, Elder\, Faculty of Law\, University of Windsor | Walpole Island First Nation\nAndrea Pierce\, Deputy Director of Programming\, Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition and Chair\, Anishinaabek Caucus | Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians\nDawn Martin Hill\, Grandmother of 10\, resides in Six Nations of the Grand River with her four children | Mohawk Wolf Clan\nJudy Da Silva\, Elder\, Award-Winning Activist\, Community Leader | Grassy Narrows First Nation\n\nThis event is hosted by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission\, the Global Center for Transboundary Waters\, the Tishman Center for Social Justice and the Environment\, and the Water Center. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Defining the Discipline of Robotics for Excellence and Equity in an AI-driven World
DESCRIPTION:Start with a simple question: What is the best major for a student to become a roboticist?  In my role leading the creation of the Robotics Undergraduate Major at Michigan\, we tackled this question through the curricular challenge of how to both: 1) educate people to put ideas of the robotics discipline into practice and 2) endow them with the intellectual lens for creating new ideas that extend the frontiers of the robotics discipline -- where mobility and dexterity through humanoid robots are poised to have a transformative impact in our increasingly AI-driven world.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss my work to both advance the state of the art in semantic understanding for robotics and prepare students for possible futures where robotics and AI are abundant and ubiquitous.  I will present the design\, launch\, and innovations for the Michigan Robotics Major for undergraduates\, as robotics emerges into its own as a true academic discipline.  I will describe highlights from research in semantic 3D perception for mobile manipulation robots (including humanoids) to understand the form and function (or affordances) for a diversity of objects in common environments.  I will also share insights from my role as Program Chair of the AAAI-26 Conference (and its roughly 30\,000 submissions) and how this role\, and my experiences with Amazon AWS Machine Learning University\, has reshaped my perspective on AI for teaching at the university level.  Finally\, I will discuss new efforts in my course this semester to formulate \"mutation assessments\" that gauge student understanding of agentically coded projects.
