The University of Waterloo APS/MTTS Branches, in collaboration with the IEEE Waterloo Young Professional Affinity Group and Ottawa Section joint APS/MTTS chapter, invite you to join a free virtual talk by Eric Luvisotto. This session covers the basics of Intellectual Property (IP) protection with a focus on patents. You’ll learn about the different types of IP protection available and some of the most common pitfalls to avoid. Learn about the resources available to you at the University of Waterloo, including the Waterloo Commercialization Office (WatCo). Hear how IP is used to commercialize technology through licensing or start-up creation. Included is a brief discussion on “Are You an Inventor?”, this highlights some key points for consideration as this issue has come up when there may be a misunderstanding between Faculty and Grad Students. Also included are some helpful tips for those interested in creating a Start-Up. 📅 Date: Thursday, October 10th 🕒 Time:12:00pm - 1:30pm EST 📍 Location: Online TEAMS Invite Speaker(s): Eric Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/500195

Cooperation in multi-robot systems is a challenging task. The desired outcome for the group must be achieve through agents that often perceive/act based on their own point of view and interests. To achieve a certain form of "agreement" between the agents, different algorithms have been studied, such as network control, auction, or optimization methods. These can be computed by a central entity, which simplifies modeling the problem, or be inherently decentralized, which scales well for large number of agents. In this presentation we explore the techniques that have been used to coordinate the action of multiple intelligent and autonomous agents. Also, we see how machine learning techniques (RL) or the state-of-the-art language models (e.g., ChatGPT) can be applied to improve system's performance. --------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Kleber Cabral holds a doctorate from the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC, 2022). He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow and an Adjunct Professor at Queen's University. His research involves robotic and applied AI. He focused on multi-robotic systems, and the problem within, such as control and decision making. In the past, Dr. Cabral has investigated the use of network control, graph theory for decentralized autonomous construction problems. Currently, his research involves applying machine learning to multi-robot problems, exploring state-of-the-art modelling and solutions based on game theory and learning using language models.

Join us on October 14th as we celebrate IEEE Day and host a distinguished speaker from the IEEE Computer Society. IEEE Day is an opportunity to reflect on the contributions of past volunteers and look ahead to the future of the IEEE. IEEE Day celebrates the first time in history when engineers worldwide gathered to share their technical ideas in 1884. Distinguished Speaker: Dr. Rick Kazman. Dr. Kazman will present on how studies show that LLMs support divergent thinking and design documentation, while human expertise remains essential for meaningful architectural design. AI can enhance, but not replace, the role of architects. This talk is part of her speaking tour across Western Canada, and the IEEE Vancouver Section, together with the Joint Computer Chapter, is delighted to host her in person at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), Richmond Campus. The presentation will begin at 5:15 PM. The event is free for all attendees. We will also celebrate IEEE Day with a cake-cutting ceremony. Appetizers will be served. Please note that registration is mandatory. Speaker(s): Dr. Rick Kazman, Room: TBA, Bldg: Main Building, 8771 Lansdowne Rd, Richmond , British Columbia, Canada, V6X 3V8
