Robotic and Autonomous Systems: Machine Learning Tools for Modeling - Open Talk

Join us for a special talk by a fantastic mechanical engineer Kaan Beyduz.

Kaan will provide our group with an introduction to control systems, with a particular focus on feedback controls. Control systems affect tons of projects, including anything with motion, or systems that are regulated.

Design of both mechanical and electrical systems are motivated by reaching an optimal operating condition - given specific design goals. Getting effectively to this optimum state is a very big deal for systems design! In this open seminar, we will explore how to use machine learning tools to guide you to model and design for a variety of systems. First we will focus on how to model several use cases that need to optimize operating conditions. Then we will use machine learning tools to reiterate the design. The material is tailored for hobbyists, requiring no prior experience in mechanical/electrical system and machine learning — just a passion for learning and experimentation.

All backgrounds, skill levels, and active learners are welcome to this amazing presentation.
