I’m teaching a class at Stanford University this semester with my colleagues Gary Bradski, Sachin Chitta, and John Hsu: CS324 “Perception for Manipulation”. All the class materials are public, and since this is the first class ever taught on the PR2 robot and ROS, we encourage other people to take a look at the slides, and let us know what they think! Thanks.
Our RSS 2010 workshop proposal got accepted, so see you in Zaragoza! The proposal was a joint effort between Antonio Morales, Mario Prats, Siddhartha Srinivasa, and myself. We already set up the web page, so feel free to check it out at

Since there’s no time to actually blog anymore, I’ve decided to at least restart posting things interesting for people in my “line of work”. 
Today’s post is about our new ICRA 2010 workshop on “Best Practice in 3D Perception and Modeling for Mobile Manipulation“, organized together with Andreas, Gary, and Alexey. Submit, and we hope to see you in Alaska!
The first steps towards the PR2 robot autonomously detecting and opening doors have been taken!
