Recent advances in tactile sensing hardware have resulted &#8212; for the first time &#8212; in the availability of high-resolution, inexpensive, and reliable tactile sensors. In this talk, I will argue for the importance of creating a new computational field of &#8220;Touch processing&#8221;. In this talk, I will argue for the importance of creating a new computational field of &#8220;Touch processing&#8221; dedicated to the processing and understanding of touch, similar to what computer vision is for vision. To start addressing some of these challenges, I will introduce Finally, I will present some applications of touch in robotics and discuss other future applications.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lecturer:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertocalandra.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roberto Calandra<\/a>, Dr-Ing.<br \/>\nResearch Scientist, <a href=\"https:\/\/ai.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta AI<\/a> (formerly Facebook AI)<\/li>\n<li>Date and Time:<br \/>\nMonday, October 31, 2022<br \/>\nEntrance from 12:30, Event will run 13:00-14:00<\/li>\n<li>Venue:<br \/>\nIn-person: Waseda University, Nishiwaseda Campus, Building 63, Ichizaemon Morimura Memorial Conference Room (Conference Room 03)<br \/>\nOnline: Via Youtube (link will be added below closer to the date)<\/li>\n<li>Language:<br \/>\nEnglish<\/li>\n<li>Registration:<br \/>\nRegistration is free, but limited to a capacity of 80 participants<br \/>\nRegistration available <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/gZL8MxJWGfHSiTRi6\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Inquiries:<br \/>\nPlease send any inquiries to Professor Tetsuya Ogata, Faculty of Science and Engineering at the following email: ogata[at]waseda.jp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The lecture will be broadcasted live on Youtube, and can be accessed at the following link:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KnokqSLcAso\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/KnokqSLcAso<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This event is organized by Waseda University&#8217;s Frontier of Embodiment Informatics: ICT and Robotics Unit, and is supported by the Graduate Program for Embodiment Informatics, and the Future Robotics Organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ICT and Robotics Unit will organize a lecture titled \u201cTouch Sensing and Processing\u201d by Dr-Ing.
