MIT Robotics Seminar: Stefano Stramigioli
Robotics is the science of machines inter(acting) in our physical world, and yet, far to little attention is often given to sound methodologies able to understand the physics of such interactions and conceptual mistakes have been also even made in the litterature.

LIDS and Stats Tea Talk: Julie Zhu and Oliver Wang
Conformal prediction provides a powerful framework for constructing prediction intervals with finite-sample guarantees, yet its robustness under distribution shifts remains a significant challenge. This paper addresses this limitation by modeling distribution shifts using Lévy-Prokhorov (LP) ambiguity sets, which capture both local and global perturbations. We provide a self-contained overview of LP ambiguity sets and their connections to popular metrics such as Wasserstein and Total Variation.

Autonomy Tea Talk: Olawale Salaudeen
Spurious correlations are unstable statistical associations that hinder robust decision-making. Conventional wisdom suggests that models relying on such correlations will fail to generalize out-of-distribution (OOD), particularly under strong distribution shifts.

MIT Robotics Seminar: Matthew Gombolay
Athletics are a quintessential and universal expression of humanity. From French monks who in the 12th century invented jeu de paume, the precursor to modern lawn tennis, back to the K’iche’ people who played the Maya Ballgame as a form of religious expression over three thousand years ago, humans have sought to train their minds and bodies to excel in sporting contests. Advances in robotics are opening up the possibility of robots in sports. Yet, key challenges remain...
