First was an interesting talk by Zeynep Temel on building adaptive robotics systems for complex environments at Princeton Robotics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxFnIpDmMh0 (2/11) #robotics

Next was a thought-provoking talk by Mike Zheng Shou on using large multimodal models for video intelligence at the GRASP Lab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0d2p6Fdkvw (3/11) #AI

Next was an intriguing talk by Daniela Mitterberger on robot/human collaboration in construction at Princeton Robotics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgxdQiPZOAU (4/11) #robotics

Next was a great talk by Alin Coman on using network experiments to understand emergent memory phenomena at the Psychonomic Society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_k3r0TMIng (5/11) #networks #psychology

Next was an incredible talk by Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio on soft robots that can evolve on demand at Princeton Robotics. This work is one of the best examples of how research funding for non-technical fields (in this case, on animal biology and archaeology, among others), can lead to technical breakthroughs. In this case, amazing work on morphing amphibious robots inspired by turtles, and future work taking inspiration from plesiosaurs! Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfcK28AbjQw (6/11) #robotics

Next was a fantastic panel on analyzing animal creativity to interrogate dominant theories of IP authorship and ownership at the QMUL School of Law with @ProfJohanna and Alexis Alvarez-Nakagawa. The discussion was enlightening, and Gibson masterfully deconstructs arguments around generative AI "authorship." Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56TNRqVSOEg (7/11) #law
