The CMU Robotics Institute recently held a celebration and symposium, called FR25, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the CMU Field Robotics and the 60th birthday of Red Whittaker, who founded the discipline of field robotics. A wide range of robot experts spoke at FR25 including Robin Murphy, Marc Raibert, and, of course Red himself. The CMU folks did a webcast of the event and the video of most of the talks is still available for those who'd like to view them. Take it a look; it's some interesting stuff.
