SUMMARY:Presentation:We Are Stars
DESCRIPTION:What are we made of? Where did it all come from? Explore the secrets of our cosmic chemistry and our explosive origins. Connect life on Earth to the evolution of the Universe by following the formation of hydrogen atoms to the synthesis of carbon\, and the molecules for life.\n\nThe state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and back in time from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets $8. Tickets are available on the day of the show at the Museum Store.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Data-Efficient Robotic Manipulation of Deformable One-dimensional Objects with Unreliable Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:This dissertation takes a step to increase the abilities of robots to manipulate deformable objects\, like ropes and cables. I focus on two problems\, our inability to accurately predict in all scenarios how a DOO will move or deform\, and the cost of collecting training data in robotic manipulation. I present a system that can quickly learn to manipulation the DOO despite limited data and imperfect predictions\, as well as plan grasps and regrasps when the robot gets stuck.\n\nChair: Dmitry Berenson\nMeeting password: rope
