On the theoretical level, the workshop\u2019s objective is to determine the different points of view of computational principles and laws that appear across disciplines. On the application level, the workshop aims to identify how these different points of view can lead to e\ufb03cient algorithms for learning and control of complex dynamical systems in autonomy, robotics and biology.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Workshop funded by Army Research Lab (ARL) and DARPA"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2016-06-07 12:12:40","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:17:58","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-06-14T09:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-06-14T19:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-06-14T19:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-06-14 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-06-14 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-06-14 23:00:00","rrule":"RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20160617T035959Z;WKST=SU","timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/acds-lab.gatech.edu","title":"Autonomous Control and Decision Systems Laboratory"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ae.gatech.edu\/node\/1260","title":"Evangelos Theodorou"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"10377","name":"Career\/Professional development"},{"id":"1789","name":"Conference\/Symposium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u0026nbsp;Evangelos Theodorou\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:evangelos.theodorou@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eevangelos.theodorou@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u0026nbsp;404.894.8197\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
