Professor Yoshihiko Nakamura, widely hailed as a legend in the field of robotics, joined as professor and department chair of robotics, and Professor Sami Haddadin has joined the university as the vice president for research and professor of robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Nakamura is a renowned expert in humanoid robotics and biomechanics, with research focusing on human-digital-twin technology and human-robot interaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Haddadin, the founding director of Europe\u2019s largest robotics and machine intelligence institute, widely considered as one of the worldwide leading institutions, is widely recognized for his work in robots with a sense of touch, robot learning, and robot safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt MBZUAI, we are committed to bringing together the most talented minds globally, and the addition of Professor Sami Haddadin and Professor Yoshihiko Nakamura strengthens our mission to lead in cutting-edge AI and robotics research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These distinguished pioneers are not only advancing the frontiers of their fields but also fostering deep interdisciplinary collaborations across our institution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their innovative work will undoubtedly accelerate real-world applications that benefit society. As we expand our robotics department and welcome our first cohort of students, it&#8217;s an exhilarating time at MBZUAI, where the future of robotics is being shaped,\u201d said Professor Eric Xing, president and university professor at MBZUAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MBZUAI at IROS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Plenary Talk<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor&nbsp;Yoshihiko Nakamura<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embodiment of AI and Biomechanics\/Neuroscience<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oct. 17, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Lecture<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Sami Haddadin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ras.papercept.net\/conferences\/conferences\/IROS24\/program\/IROS24_ContentListWeb_1.html#mowmt1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tutorial<\/a>&nbsp;Foundations of Interaction Control for Contact Robots: Energy-based Methods and Interactive Learning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Demonstrations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Robotic \u2018Dog Bot\u2019 whose potential applications include inspecting work sites, assisting the police in patrolling neighborhoods, and surveying agricultural sites. Powered by a large multimodal model developed at MBZUAI, it combines image, text, and audio capabilities, allowing speech and vision recognition and understanding and audio response. As part of the demo, a member of the MBZUAI team will control the robot via a mobile app, showing its ability to understand its visual surroundings and act on instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immersive robot command center that could be deployed for monitoring industrial environments, assisting workers and surveillance. It uses a Unitree robot dog equipped with a 360-degree camera to stream video onto a large LED wall display. Users can either control the robot using a game controller or instruct it to perform tasks via voice commands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generative AI technology called VOODOO that can instantly create a full 3D avatar head of a person from a single photo. Users can automatically control the avatar using a webcam in real-time.
