SUMMARY:Advanced Zotero
DESCRIPTION:Attention\, graduate students! If you are already a Zotero user and are looking to take your citation and literature review game to the next level\, this workshop is for you. We will learn how to route PDF attachments to a cloud storage folder and retrieve and organize our PDF annotations using the third-party plugin ZotMoov. ZotMoov allows users to continue using Zotero without paying for storage for PDF attachments (assuming Rutgers-provided cloud storage like Box or ScarletApps). In case a refresher is needed\, our “Introduction to Zotero” materials are available at https://libguides.rutgers.edu/zotero/tutorials. \nInstructor: Francesca Giannetti\, Digital Humanities Librarian \n\nRelated LibGuide:  Zotero by Mei Ling Lo \nThis is an online event. Event URL will be sent via registration email. \nRegister here: https://libcal.rutgers.edu/event/16247204

SUMMARY:Data Science Basics: Intro to Python (Without the Scary)
DESCRIPTION:Registration is required. There are 13 seats available. This is an online event. Event URL will be sent via registration email. Click here to register. \nData Science Basics: Intro to Python (Without the Scary)\nCoding doesn’t have to be intimidating. Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn\, and it’s used everywhere\, from apps to automation to data analysis. In this workshop\, we’ll start with the basics\, step by step\, and show you how Python can be applied to everyday problems in a way that’s simple and practical. By the end\, you’ll not only run your first Python code but also understand how learning this language can open new opportunities in study\, work\, and beyond. \nRelated LibGuide: Data Science – Graduate Specialists by Ryan Womack \n

SUMMARY:5th Annual Rutgers Robotics Workshop 2025
DESCRIPTION:Faculty\, Students and Industry Participants are invited to join us for this annual event as part of the NSF National Research Traineeship SOCRATES (Socially Cognizant Robotics for a Technology Enhanced Society) at Rutgers. \n\nEvent Details\n\nDate: Friday\, October 10\, 2025\nLocation: Civic Square Building (33 Livingston Ave\, New Brunswick\, NJ)\nRegistration: Required (Free)\nRegistration Link: Register Here\n\nThis annual robotics workshop brings together faculty\, students\, and industry representatives featuring both internal and external speakers as well as a poster session for students to present their robotics research. \n\n\nWorkshop Agenda\n8:30 – 9:00 Check-in\n9:00 – 9:30 Introduction\n9:30 – 10:30 Plenary Speaker\, Dhruv Shah\, Google DeepMind\, UC Berkeley\n10:30 – 10:45 Poster Spotlight Talks\n10:45 – 11:45 Coffee break & Poster Session\n11:45 – 12:30 SOCRATES Faculty Lightning Talks: Socially Cognizant Robotics in Action\n12:30 – 1:30 Networking Lunch\n1:30 – 2:30 Industry/Alumni Lightning Talks: AI in industry\n2:30 – 3:15 Student Talks (NRT fellows/trainees)\n3:15 – 4:15 Afternoon Keynote\n4:30 – 5:30 Robot Demonstrations and Industry Consortium Discussion\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\nDhruv Shah\, PhD\nGoogle DeepMind & Incoming Assistant Professor at Princeton University \n“Evaluating and Improving Steerability of Generalist Robot Policies” \n\n\n\n\nBio\nDhruv Shah is a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind and an incoming Assistant Professor at Princeton University. He recently obtained his PhD in EECS at UC Berkeley\, where he was advised by Sergey Levine. His research spans the fields of machine learning and robotics\, with the goal of building autonomous robots that can combine large-scale learning with real-world deployment. Dhruv is a Microsoft Future Leader in Robotics & AI (2024)\, Berkeley Fellow\, and his research has been nominated for and won several Best Paper Awards at premier robotics conferences like RSS and ICRA. His work has also been featured in several media outlets\, including IEEE Spectrum\, TechXplore\, and ZDNet\, along with several international venues. \n\n\nAbstract\nGeneral-purpose robot policies hold immense promise\, yet they often struggle to generalize to novel scenarios\, particularly struggling with grounding language in the physical world. In this talk\, I will first propose a systematic taxonomy of robot generalization\, providing a framework for understanding and evaluating current state-of-the-art generalist policies. This taxonomy highlights key limitations and areas for improvement. I will then discuss a simple idea for improving the steerability of these policies by improving language grounding in robotic manipulation and navigation. Finally\, I will present our recent effort in applying these principles to scaling up generalist policy learning for dexterous manipulation.
