7 January 2018 - New undergrad course, CS 15-382:
​  
​This fall semester I'm teaching a new (exciting!) CS course, that I designed from scratch:
​Collective Intelligence
​
​
​The course is about complex systems, multi-agent systems, swarms, networks, ...

Wearable interfaces for multi-modal human swarm interaction

Deep learning for autonomous drone navigation following forest trails

Robots are mainly passive during the interaction. Decoding and fusion of vocal and gestural commands is done using wearable devices and local networking.
Deep learning techniques are used to train a neural network to recognize forest trails. The network is used by the controller of a quadrotor to autonomously and safely  navigate among trees..
