The Centre of Research Excellence for Advanced Cooperative Systems (ACROSS) and IEEE Croatia Section, Robotics and Automation Chapter invite you to the research seminar

"Team DRC-Hubo: International Collaboration using a Three Phase Design Cycle"

given by Prof. Daniel Lofaro from Electrical and Computer Engineering Department & Lofaro Labs, George Mason University, USA.
The seminar will take place on Friday, October 3rd, starting at 12:00 in Grey Hall at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing.
More about the speaker and the seminar can be found in the detailed news content.

Abstract:

Prof. Lofaro will show the evolution of the Hubo Humanoid Robot from a research platform to a DARPA Robot Challenge (DRC) ready system via the use of a Three Phase Design Cycle. Benefits and challenges of working with multiple research groups, and the impact it has on becoming a competitive DRC team will be discussed. Finally recommendations for software and social methods to be used when working with medium size research groups will be given. For more information about Team DRC-Hubo please visit its home page at http://www.drc-hubo.com/.
