Video Understanding: From Tags to Language
The increasing ubiquity of devices capable of capturing videos has led to an explosion in the amount of recorded video content. Instead of “eyeballing” the videos for potentially useful information, it has therefore been a…

Physics-based Manipulation with and Around People
Robots manipulate with super-human speed and dexterity on factory floors. But yet they fail even under moderate amounts of clutter or uncertainty. However, human teleoperators perform remarkable acts of manipulation with the same hardware. My…

On-device ML for Object and Activity Detection
To process data locally, we have accelerated ML computations via ASICs that incorporate efficient pipelining and parallelism techniques. We have also compressed ML models by scaling their bit-precision values.

Pose Tracking with Wearable and Ambient Devices
Summary Analyzing human motion with high autonomy requires advanced capabilities in sensing, communication, energy management and AI. Wearable systems help us go beyond external cameras enabling motion analysis in the wild. However, such systems are still…
