SUMMARY:Robotics Engineering Colloquium Series: Professor Neil Dantam
DESCRIPTION:Robot Planning and Manipulation: Symbols, Geometry, and Feasibi
 lity\n\n\n\n      \n      \n\n\n\nAbstract: Autonomous robots need to deci
 de on actions and follow motions to achieve those actions, yet issues of s
 ymbolic planning and motion planning have long been addressed separately. 
 This talk describes our work on integrated task and motion planning leadin
 g to a key challenge, and our novel results, on deciding the existence of 
 motion plans. This line of work offers new capabilities for robots to plan
  for difficult and complex manipulation scenarios.\nBio: Neil T. Dantam is
  an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Colorado School of Mine
 s. His work focuses on robot planning and manipulation, covering task and 
 motion planning, kinematics, robot communication, and real-time software.\
