#robotics X, I’m looking for a “definitive” text that surveys modern robotics, akin to George Bekey’s text “Autonomous Robots: From biological inspiration to implementation and control” but more recent. Any pointers?

So exciting! Go @sydneyskybetter and Rishika! Looking forward to listening

Our paper on real-time decentralized cooperative #robot navigation is online! No preplanning or comm b/w robots, navigate through cluttered environments by sensing position only, while significant reducing deadlocks. Paper: https://t.co/8FybsuJUiT

After what seems like an eternity, they’re finally here. We’re ready. Let’s go!

@phebe_vayanos Congratulations @phebe_vayanos on (1) your little guy and (2) tenure! So happy for you! 💛

So much useful information in this thread for all disciplines. Definitely follows the strategy we use—writing always helps clarify our goals and is useful even without a specific paper and/or publication venue in mind.

[Michael Black @Michael_J_Black]

In the LLM-science discussion, I see a common misconception that science is a thing you do and that writing about it is separate and can be automated. I’ve written over 300 scientific papers and can assure you that science writing can’t be separated from science doing. Why? 1/18

@CSatUSC @CAIS_USC @BDilkina Congratulations @BDilkina!

[Nora Ayanian @NoraRobots]

@kshitijtiwari92 Absolutely! I’m open to anything. No guarantees, of course.

[Nora Ayanian @NoraRobots]

I'm revamping my grad course on coordinated mobile #robotics. The focus is on #multirobot systems but it's self contained and will cover topics relevant to multi-robot systems. Suggestions on papers to include as assigned readings and why they're important?

I know I said I missed the snow when I was in SoCal but yesterday it hit 60° and this morning I woke up to this

[Nora Ayanian @NoraRobots]

@jamesmfinley @doctorBobG Could it be the difference between boys and girls? I know people say that’s a myth but is it really?!

[Nora Ayanian @NoraRobots]

I need to add that when I said colleagues I also meant the staff of @CSatUSC. They are an amazing team and were always there and ready with assistance/solutions when I needed them. They also became my friends! I will miss you, too!

@NoraRobots @BrownUniversity @USCViterbi We will miss you, Professor Ayanian!
