<eventitem date="2010-03-30" time="4:30 PM" room="DC1304" title="NUI: The future of robotics and automated systems">
<short><p>Member Sam Pasupalak will present some of his ongoing work in Natural User Interfaces and Robotics in this sixth installment of CS10.
</p></short>
<abstract><p>Bill Gates in his article “A Robot in every home” in the Scientific American describes how the current
robotics industry resembles the 1970’s of the Personal Computer Industry. In fact it is not just
Microsoft which has already taken a step forward by starting the Microsoft Robotics studio, but robotics
researchers around the world believe that robotics and automation systems are going to be ubiquitous in
the next 10-20 years (similar to Mark Weiser’s analogy of Personal Computers 20 years ago). Natural User
Interfaces (NUIs) are going to revolutionize the way we interact with computers, cellular phones, household
appliances, automated systems in our daily lives. Just like the GUI made personal computing a reality,
I believe natural user interfaces will do the same for robotics.
</p><p>During the presentation I will be presenting my ongoing software project on natural user interfaces as well
as sharing my goals for the future, one of which is to provide an NUI SDK and the other to provide a common
Robotics OS for every hardware vendor that will enable people to make applications without worrying about
underlying functionality. If time permits I would like to present a demo of my software prototype.

<eventitem date="2010-03-26" time="7:00 PM" room="MC7001" title="A Final Party of Code">
<short><p>There is a CSC/CMC Code Party Friday starting at 7:00PM (1900) until we get bored (likely in the early in morning). Come out for fun hacking times, spreading Intertube memes (optional), hacking on open source projects, doing some computational math, and other general classiness. There will be free energy drinks for everyone's enjoyment. This is the last of the term so don't miss out.
