Dear HART TG members,
Our August TG member conversations will have Dr. Chung Hyuk Park, from George Washington University, as our guest speaker. The topic of his lighting talk is Assistive Robotics in Healthcare and Tele-Medicine: Engineering Approaches and Challenges. We will have Q&A and small group discussions after the lighting talk.
Dr. Park directs the Assistive Robotics and Tele-Medicine (ART-Med) Lab at George Washington University where he studies the collaborative innovation between human intelligence and robotic technology, integrating robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), human-robot interaction, computer vision, haptics, and telepresence robotics. His current research projects are categorized into three topics: 1) Multi-modal human-robot interaction and robotic assistance for individuals with disabilities or special needs, 2) Robotic learning and humanized intelligence, and 3) Tele-medical robotic assistance and AI-based reasoning for medical perception and decision-making. In the first research topic, the impacts of multi-modal feedback are studied on the aspects of human-robot interaction and its application in assistive scenarios, such as telepresence for individuals with visual impairments or emotionally and socially interactive robotic systems for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the second line of research, the computational methodologies of machine learning are investigated on the aspect of robotic learning of human behaviors and intelligence. Through the last research goal, novel methodologies for utilizing robotic systems and AI in biomedical applications are being researched, from simple caregiving tasks towards intelligent surgical assistance and training systems. He received his PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology (2012), MS degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and BS degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Seoul National University (2002, 2000, respectively).
The event date is on Tuesday, August 10th, 2021, at 9 am PDT | 9 am AZ MST | 11 am CDT | 12 pm EDT. We look forward to seeing you at the event.Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android:https://asu.zoom.us/j/85790023785?pwd=RUFRVGtYTzhBWWVOVFplSHN6cXZxUT09Zoom Meeting ID: 857 9002 3785Password: hartHere is our rolling meeting agenda and minutes:https://docs.google.com/document/d/12wSQUPO89sIYSpVCnPqSdJYtJo92IqjQTqeBMORElDc/edit#Have a nice weekend!------------------------------
