Our EVflownet Self-supervised optical flow estimation for event-based cameras paper was Best Student paper finalist at RSS'18.
Our team was one of the five finalists at the KUKA Innovation Competition demonstrating Automatic Precise Liquid Dispensing.
Our paper Probabilistic Data Association for Semantic SLAM won the Best Conference Paper Award at ICRA 2017 ! A sneak peek here, more material, and the ceremony.
The worldwide first Micromasters in Robotics taught by GRASP faculty!
