We are excited to announce that Prof. Dr. Sebastian Scherer from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) will be our next speaker in the Munich AI Lecture series.

Robustness in AI and robotics shows great promise if systems can transition from the lab to real-world environments, moving beyond the single-operator per robot paradigm. However, the unstructured nature of the real-world demands nuanced decision-making from robots. In this talk, Prof. Scherer will outline approaches, progress, and results in multi-modal sensing, nuanced perception inputs, navigation in difficult terrain, and extensions to multi-robot teams, as well as future research directions.

Bio: Sebastian Scherer is an Associate Research Professor at the Robotics Institute (RI) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). His research focuses on enabling autonomy in challenging environments. He previously led CMU’s entry to the SubT challenge, achieving several firsts in autonomy for flying robots and off-road driving. Dr. Scherer holds a B.S. in Computer Science, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Robotics from CMU.
