I was honored to give the Lockheed Martin Robotics Seminar at the University of Maryland last month. I talked about motivation dynamics, the framework I am developing to use dynamical systems tools for autonomous task management.
Much of the material I discussed can be found in various publications from my group, especially [1] and [2].
Giving talks over Zoom is an art I’m still learning. Showing videos poses a particular challenge because they’re often transmitted with a lag. For those who want to take a closer look at my videos from that talk, I post them here for reference.
