Autonomous cars, delivery robots, warehouse fulfillment AMRs—what powers these technologies we are now seeing in our day-to-day lives? In this talk we will see how fundamentals in mathematics and computer science have contributed to enabling some of the most advanced algorithms and capabilities to date. Robotics and autonomy is no longer the future, but arriving fast.

Dr. Russell Toris ’11 is director of robotics engineering at Zebra Technologies. His passion is bringing robots out of the lab and into the world to be used by everyday people. Throughout his career, Toris has built and distributed tools which enable researchers, developers, and end users to interact with robots in an intuitive way, using popular cloud- and web-based technologies. His research in learning from demonstration, cloud robotics and mobile manipulation has focused primarily on nonexpert end users, which has helped Zebra Technologies bring robots into the workplace. Toris received his B.S. in computer science from Dickinson and his Ph.D. in computer science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
