dc.description	Moderated by Sam Coogan, an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering & Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech. He received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. In 2015, he was a postdoctoral research engineer at Sensys Networks, Inc., and in 2012 he was a research intern at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Before joining Georgia Tech in 2017, he was an assistant professor in the Electrical Engineering department at UCLA from 2015–2017.
dc.description	Tom Collins currently has shared appointments with the Georgia Tech Research Institute and the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received a Bachelor’s degree in ME in 1980, an MSEE in 1982, and a Ph.D. in EE in 1994, all from Georgia Tech. His research interests include robotics, digital hardware design, modeling and simulation, and high-performance computing. His robotics contributions began with the IBM 7565 manipulator, a large, high-accuracy hydraulic/electric robot targeted at precision assembly tasks.
dc.description	Frank Dellaert is a Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Research Scientist at Google AI. He joined Georgia Tech in 2001 after obtaining a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science, where he worked with Hans Moravec, Chuck Thorpe, Sebastian Thrun, and Steve Seitz. His research is in the overlap between robotics and computer vision, and he is particularly interested in graphical model techniques to solve large-scale problems in mapping, 3D reconstruction, and increasingly model-predictive control.
dc.description	Anirban Mazumdar joined Georgia Tech as an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering in 2018. Dr. Mazumdar studies robot mobility with the goal of understanding and achieving agile, versatile, and efficient robot behaviors in unstructured environments.
dc.description	Anup Parikh is a Senior Member of Technical Staff in the High Consequence Automation and Robotics Group at Sandia National Labs.
dc.description	Aaron Young is an Assistant Professor in the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech and a member of the Institute for Robotics & Intelligent Machines. He also is a program faculty member of the Biomedical Engineering School. He is director of the Exoskeleton Prosthetic & Intelligent Controls (EPIC) Lab focused on lower limb robotic augmentation. His research focuses on optimizing control systems in wearable robotic devices by studying their effect on human locomotion biomechanics in clinical populations.
