For embodied agents, this means learning through [...]	0 events 3 0 events, 3	0 events 4 0 events, 4	1 event 5 1 event, 5 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm VASC Seminar Chang Yue Computer Science, University of Toronto Thursday, November 5 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm Structured Learning for Fast Physical Prediction Abstract: Physical simulation is essential for robotics and engineering design, but remains computationally expensive, especially for complex geometries and long time horizons. Learning-based approaches offer faster predictions, but often lack the mathematical structure needed for reliable simulation. In this talk, I will present three approaches that combine learning with mathematical structure: continuous reduced-order representations for [...]	1 event 6 1 event, 6 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm RI Seminar Ben Burchfiel Walden Robotics Friday, November 6 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm Learning in Production: Building Physical AI at Walden Robotics Abstract: Walden Robotics is a full-stack company building both the hardware and physical AI for general-purpose manufacturing robots. Walden was founded in January 2026 and deployed its first robot into production manufacturing two months later. It’s still there and the fleet has been learning on the job ever since. Our core conviction is that the [...]	0 events 7 0 events, 7
