SUMMARY:Brown bag: Nils Napp
DESCRIPTION:Title: Abstraction Barriers for Physically Embodied
	 Algorithms\nSpeaker: Nils Napp\nAbstract: Designing robotic systems to
	 reliably modify their environment typically requires expert engineers
	 and multiple design iterations. This talk will cover abstraction
	 barriers that can be used to make the process of building such systems
	 easier and the results more predictable. By focusing on approximate
	 mathematical representations that model the process dynamics\, this
	 abstract representation can be used both to design high-level algorithms
	 and physical robotic systems to solve complex construction tasks.  This
	 talk will present ongoing work for two types of abstraction barriers\,
	 which can represent different construction processes\, and show how they
	 can be used to design robotic systems to execute novel construction
	 tasks.
