Title: The machine learning revolution and its applications to robotics, mining and healthcare

 

Abstract

I will give an overview on the latest developments in machine learning and robotics. With recent theoretical advancements in nonparametric Bayesian models and novel optimisation techniques for nonconvex problems, common tasks in multi-sensor data fusion, spatial-temporal prediction and path planning can be tackled with a unifying statistical framework. I will show how this has impacted computer vision and robotics communities and how we are creating new companies to commercialise the application of these techniques to several problems in mining exploration, environmental sciences and healthcare.
