Session 1: Monday, January 23, 2023 (1.5 hour)
The in-hand manipulation problem:
The course begins by defining the in-hand manipulation problem, learning about types of manipulations and showing various work on the topic. Distinction between dexterous and non-dexterous robotic hands, with various solutions for in-hand manipulations.
Session 2: Tuesday, January 24, 2023 (1.5 hour)
Motion planning and learning under uncertainty:
Consider a dynamic system, such as a robotic hand during a manipulation task, with inherent uncertainties such as friction and obstacles. Methods to plan robust motion. That is, how can we plan a path for the system to follow that has the highest probability to succeed? A brief introduction to show how reinforcement learning can address such uncertainties.
Session 3: Monday, February 13, 2023 (1.5 hour)
Privacy in Crisis:
Introduction to a general framework of law & technology and proceed to privacy. Privacy Challenges – from the government to the private sector, including social media and online data giants – in broad brush and then turn to the case study of technological tools for contact tracing during COVID.
Session 4: Tuesday, February 14, 2023 (1.5 hour)
Privacy by Design:
The focus on searching for a technological solution for privacy challenges within a legal framework, namely Privacy Enhancing Technologies and Privacy by Design. Examples discussed, include the HaMagen application developed by the Israeli Ministry of Health during COVID.
