CMU Bipedal Locomotion Seminar

The Carnegie Mellon Biped Seminar is a weekly meeting amongst students and professors who study bipedal locomotion using a variety of approaches. The format is a one hour meeting, once per week, with a graduate student presenting on a topic of their choosing related to their research. We encourage discussion and interaction, especially from fellow students. Unlike lab meetings, these are intended to work like small, informal conference discussions or workshops.

The purposes of the seminar are to:
(1) provide new perspectives on projects,
(2) practice presenting and answering questions,
(3) provide a forum for students to connect, and
(4) foster collaboration between research groups.

Although the name of our meeting includes "CMU", we encourage participation from all interested students and faculty. Typically, we have attendees from Carnegie Mellon, The University of Pittsburgh, and Disney Research Pittsburgh. If you are interested in attending, please feel free to drop in. To present your work, please contact Steve Collins: stevecollins@cmu.edu.

We are currently holding meetings in room 219 of Scaife Hall from 2:00-3:00 on Fridays. The Google calendar below has an up-to-date schedule, including related events on campus:
