[This work was done in collaboration with Sertac Karaman and Joel Emer]
While the low-energy, miniature actuation, and sensing systems have already been developed in many cases, the powerful computers that modern artificial intelligence and autonomy depend on are still bulky, heavy and energy-hungry. Vivienne will present breakthrough methods involving the co-design of algorithms and hardware, where the hardware is customized from the ground up to deliver orders of magnitude reductions in power consumption and size, while also increasing processing speed. She will also discuss why this is a critical step towards enabling the smallest fully-autonomous aerial robotic vehicle ever built as well as other innovative robotic use cases.
