How to Become a Fossil
Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils, learn the different types of fossil evidence, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us, and how fossil casts are made in the museum!

How to Become a Fossil
Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils, learn the different types of fossil evidence, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us, and how fossil casts are made in the museum!

Abstract:
Slow or failed detection of low salience vertical obstacles and associated wires is one of today’s leading causes of fatal helicopter accidents. The risk of collisions with such obstacles is likely to increase as Advanced Aerial Mobility and broadening drone activity promises to increase the density of air traffic at low altitudes, while growing demand for electricity and communication will expand the number of vertical structures. The current ‘see-and-avoid’ detection paradigm relies on pilots to spend much of their visual attention looking outside for obstacles. This method is inadequate in low visibility conditions, cluttered environments and given the need for pilots to engage in multiple competing visual tasks. With the expected growing number of hazards and an increased traffic volume, the current approach to collision avoidance will become even less tenable. This thesis contributes to a better understanding of the current limitations of vertical obstacle detection and avoidance. It proposes and assesses modular methods to automatically detect, catalog, and categorize hazardous obstacles that are currently neglected, and it evaluates the effectiveness of current visualization technologies and sensor- and database-informed graphic augmentations for supporting pilots in the timely and reliable detection of towers. Taken together, this research will contribute to enhanced aviation safety in the low altitude environment.

How to Become a Fossil
Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils, learn the different types of fossil evidence, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us, and how fossil casts are made in the museum!

Investigating Factors Influencing Automated Vehicles Overtaking Bicycles: Perspectives from Drivers and Bicyclists (July 27, 2023 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108987 108987-21820687@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 27, 2023 1:00pm
Location: Transportation Research Institute
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

Bicyclists and motor vehicles share the same roads, yet there is currently no reliable technology available that assists drivers in safely overtaking bicyclists while also being acceptable to bicyclists themselves. Additionally, there is a lack of clarity regarding the critical factors involved in overtaking, as perceived by the various stakeholders.

To address these issues, this study aimed to develop computational decision-making models for car-to-bike overtaking and assess relevant factors influencing this overtaking behavior. The models considered the presence of oncoming traffic and designated bike lanes. An experiment was conducted using simulation technology, gathering subjective assessments from both drivers and bicyclists. The findings revealed disparities in satisfaction and perception of different overtaking scenarios between drivers and bicyclists.

Furthermore, the study identified significant factors influencing their subjective ratings and investigated the reasons behind these inconsistencies. The research emphasizes the importance of considering the perspectives of both drivers and bicyclists when developing car-to-bike overtaking features. The insights gained from this study will contribute to the establishment of guidelines aimed at protecting vulnerable bicyclists on the road.

Dr. Lin has 11 years of experience in automotive human factors research at UMTRI after his Ph.D. His current research is focused on mining naturalistic driving data using statistical and machine-learning methods, driver-assist-system evaluation, driver performance and behavior assessment, and driver distraction and workload mitigation. His most recent work includes human driver’s lane-change maneuvers, drivers’ decisions at intersections, and passengers’ motion discomfort in moving vehicles. Dr. Lin has much experience in conducting experiments to evaluate advanced automotive systems, including auto-braking, lane departure, driver-state monitoring, electronic head units, car-following and curve-assist systems on L2 automation, and lane-change and intersection assist on L3 automation on public roads, test tracks, or simulation. He is familiar with the methods to investigate driver distraction, workload, and human-machine interaction with in-vehicle technologies and safety features. He serves as a peer reviewer for Applied Ergonomics, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles, Transportation Research Part F, and Transportation Research Record.

How to Become a Fossil
Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils, learn the different types of fossil evidence, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us, and how fossil casts are made in the museum!

Abstract
Autonomous humanoid robots have the potential to perform critical and labor-intensive tasks that could go a long way to improve upon the quality of human life. 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.

How to Become a Fossil
Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils, learn the different types of fossil evidence, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us, and how fossil casts are made in the museum!

The film follows a curious and adventurous Dolichorhynchops – familiarly known as a ‘dolly’ – as she travels through the most dangerous oceans in history. Along the way, she encounters long-necked plesiosaurs, giant turtles, enormous fish, fierce sharks, and the most dangerous sea monster of all, the mosasaur.
