The Cognitive Robotics Group investigates problems in perception, inference, learning, and interaction to enable robots to operate in open-ended environments.
Last week, the CRG celebrated our supervisor Lars Kunze @kula78 as he started a new position as a full professor with @BristolRobotLab.
Lars will continue leading the CRG as a visiting fellow, but please join us in celebrating his new role! 🎉 Congrats, Lars!
Last week, Lars @kula78 attended the
@RealAAAI Symposium on AI Trustworthiness and Risk Assessment for Challenged Contexts (ATRACC) where he presented our CARLA Responsible AI Autonomous Driving Challenge. 🚗

It was exciting to engage with the community and see strong interest in the project.
In the coming weeks, you can expect to see our custom-designed backpack making its way around Oxford routes! 🚴
Today, CRG and @MRG_Oxford were on Broad Street demonstrating the ongoing RobotCycle project which is measuring cyclist safety around Oxford!

Can neural networks reason like pointcloud registration algorithms?
Excited to share our latest paper, "NAR-*ICP: Neural Execution of Classical ICP-based Pointcloud Registration Algorithms", with @PetarV_93, @d_d_martini, and @kula78!

Listening to @MichaelGroom16 giving a great talk on #safety for mobile manipulation for domestic robots at the @Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology (https://t.co/wQVhR1G97e) at the AI and the Future of Engineering Symposium 2024.
Excellent talk by Dr. Jo-Ann Pattinson (@ITSLeeds) about legal implications of AI-generated evidence for motor vehicle accident disputes
Last week, research fellows on our funded RAILS project attended the Trustworthy Autonomous System (TAS-R) workshop at the University of Leeds
🚗 Today at IEEE IV 2024, Samuel Sze presented his paper, "Real-time 3D semantic occupancy prediction for autonomous vehicles using memory-efficient sparse convolution" 👏

📢 Live from Jeju Island, South Korea:
Two of our students, Benjamin Hardin @b_b_hardin and Samuel Sze are at the 2024 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium this week to present their work!
At today's sessions they presented two papers👇🧵
#IV2024#remotedriving#cyclistsafety
Samuel (https://t.co/peYvcPlHr7) presented the RobotCycle poster on behalf of @panefimia at the Socially Interactive Autonomous Mobility Workshop.
The work used a novel sensing unit and traffic modelling approach to create a dataset of cycling safety.

New RSS paper! RAG-Driver, a #MLLM that leverages in-context learning and #RAG techniques to predict vehicle control signals and generate explanations, achieving SOTA generalisability on the BDD-X set and on our new driving commentary dataset. #XAI#AutonomousVehicles#LLM
Catching @kula78's engrossing talk Making Robots Explainable and Trustworthy at the Actionable Knowledge Representation and Reasoning for Robots (AKR³) workshop #ESWC2024
Thanks @BristolRobotLab for coming to visit yesterday! We loved all the questions and discussions. It was a great chance to share highlights from our research and demonstrate some of the new robots about the lab!
At #ICRA2024? @panefimia will be at the Fields Robotics workshop presenting a poster about RobotCycle: assessing the safety of Oxford cyclists using a novel sensing unit and traffic modelling approach.
Come say hi between 9am to 1pm tomorrow (13/5)! 👋

A massive effort led by @panefimia, @kula78, and our team collaborating with many others across @oxfordrobots and @oxengsci! A huge amount of time and energy has been poured into developing this 👏 Great work, everyone! #ICRA2024
