Dr. Bir Bhanu from the University of California at Riverside, California, USA is giving a talk on 'Perception and Learning for Intelligent Systems' at the Central Department of Environmental Science, Institute of Science and Technology, Tribhuvan University. The talk is scheduled in CDES premises on December 6, 2022, at 11:00 am.
As intelligent machines begin to venture from the research laboratory into the real world, they must possess skills similar to those of humans to perform effectively. At a high level, these skills can be divided into two groups: (1) the ability to sense the world or the environment in which they operate (machine perception), and (2) the ability to understand and react to that sensory input (machine intelligence). Systems which lack either of these abilities cannot be considered truly robust. Bhanu has spent the last four decades in the research and development of robust autonomous systems with multi-modal sensing capabilities which are able to perform intelligent tasks and interact with other biological and artificial systems. This talk will present challenges and solutions with examples of disciplinary and interdisciplinary projects for diverse applications.
Dr. Bir Bhanu is Bourns Endowed University of California Presidential Chair in Engineering and Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Cooperative Professor of Computer Science & Engineering, Bioengineering, and Mechanical Engineering. He has served as the founding Director of the Center for Research in Intelligent Systems for over 21 years at the University of California, Riverside (UCR).
