Register NowDeploying robotic systems in hazardous environments presents a variety of both benefits and challenges. TechNeeds is bringing together robotic experts from federal agencies, national research laboratories, industry and academia to address the integration of robotic systems into hazardous work environments and how they can be used to assist and support the workforce to accomplish high priority\/high risk tasks.<\/p>\n
Seminar title<\/strong>: Robots, Sensors & Humans \u2013 Benefits & Challenges of the Implementation of Robotic Systems in Hazardous Environments The following three main panel discussions are planned:<\/p>\n A roundtable discussion will follow the panel sessions, focusing on the end user perspective on the application and deployment of robotic systems and a tour of the FIU Applied Research Center facilities and live technology demonstrations of commercially available robotics and robotic technologies under development will also be included.<\/p>\n Details on the robotics seminar, including registration information, can be found on the event website: www.techneeds.org<\/p>\n Or by contacting Dr. Leonel Lagos at LagosL@fiu.edu or 305-348-1810 or Mr. Jim Voss at the Waste Management Symposia (jamesvoss@wmarizona.org).<\/p>\n Mr. Rodrigo<\/strong>, Director, Office of Technology Development, US Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM)<\/p>\n Dr. Gloria Kwong<\/strong>, Deputy Head of Division, Radioactive Waste Management, OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA)<\/p>\n Dr. Joshua Mehling<\/strong>, Technical Discipline Lead, Robotic Systems Technology Branch \/ ER4 NASA \/ Johnson Space Center<\/p>\n Dr. Taskin Padir<\/strong>, Associate Professor, Northeastern University\/ Robotics and Intelligent Vehicles Research Laboratory<\/p>\n Mr. Doug Kautz<\/strong>, Group Leader, Los Alamos National Laboratory<\/p>\n Mr. Dan Seely<\/strong>, Chief Technologist, Venti LLC<\/p>\n Dr. Mitch Pryor<\/strong>, Research Scientist, University of Texas \u2013 Austin<\/p>\n Dr. David Handelman<\/strong>, Senior Roboticist, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory<\/p>\n Mr. Jake Deuel<\/strong>, Manager, Sandia National Laboratory<\/p>\n Dr. Troy Harden<\/strong>, Technical Staff Member, Los Alamos National Laboratory<\/p>\n Dr. Robin Murphy<\/strong>, Director, TEES Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR) and the Center for Emergency Informatics, Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue – Texas A&M University<\/p>\n Dr. SS Iyengar<\/strong>, Director\/Ryder Professor Florida International University<\/p>\n Dr. Young Soo Park<\/strong>, Principal Mechanical Engineer, Argonne National Laboratory<\/p>\n Dr. Peter Neuhaus<\/strong>, Sr. Research Scientist, Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition<\/p>\n Dr. Erik Engeberg<\/strong>, Associate Professor, Florida Atlantic University<\/p>\n Dr. Muthu Wijesundara<\/strong>, Principal Research Scientist\/Head, Biomedical Technology Division University of Texas \u2013 Arlington<\/p>\n Mr. Marty Reibold<\/strong>, Director, Strategic Initiatives, Flour-BWXT|Portsmouth<\/p>\n Mr. David Cislo<\/strong>, Manager, AREVA<\/p>\n Mr. Sam Maggio<\/strong>, President, International Climbing Machines<\/p>\n Mr. Michael Serrato<\/strong>, Manager, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
