SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series: Dr. Magnus Egerstedt
DESCRIPTION:The Ocean Institute’s Distinguished Speaker Series\, presented by the Nicholas Endowment\, brings interesting innovations\, real-world research\, exotic experiences\, and delightful discoveries to the surface through powerful presentations from an ocean of experts. Speakers present on a variety of topics ranging from ocean researchers\, ocean authors\, ocean artists\, and ocean athletes. \nLight snacks & Refreshments available for purchase at event. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Distinguished Speaker: Dr. Magnus Egerstedt\n\nRobots in the Ocean\nRobots have left their traditional habitats in manufacturing plants or warehouses\, and they are beginning to show up all around us in our homes\, on farms\, in hospitals\, and even on Mars. One potential application for such robots is to have them perform environmental monitoring tasks that can help inform conservation biologists\, climate scientists\, and policy makers about what is happening in the natural world around them\, including in the ocean. In this talk\, we will discuss the state of robotics and AI – what is science fiction and what is science fact – as well as show how one can design effective robots that can successfully inhabit natural ecosystems for long periods of time for the purpose of providing actionable environmental data. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday\, April 2\, from 6:00 to 8:00 \nDoors open at 5:30pm\, talk begins at 6:00pm \n$10 – General \nFREE – Members \nFREE – Students (with Valid ID) \n			\n				Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Dr. Egerstedt: \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Magnus Egerstedt is the Stacey Nicholas Dean of Engineering in the Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California\, Irvine\, where he is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
