What Is the AVL Lecture Series?

The AVL Lecture Series brings together students, researchers, and industry professionals to discuss topics at the frontier of autonomous systems, from low-level embedded control to high-level AI planning.

Lectures are held periodically throughout the academic year and are open to all Cal Poly Pomona students. Some sessions are recorded and shared with the community.
