• Requiem for a Drone: Stealthy Attacks on Autonomous Systems

    System Research Seminar Series
    EB2 3211 Seminar Room 890 Oval Dr., Raleigh, NC, United States

    Speaker Sibin Mohan, George Washington University Abstract Autonomous Systems (AVs) require an accurate sensing and modeling of the real-world in order to carry out their missions. They use the observations from sensors to reason about the vehicle’s state and can correct for deviations, even attacks. In practice, even the most meticulously designed control systems always…

  • Synergizing Sparse Sequence, Experimental, and AI-Predicted Structures for Protein-Nucleic Acid Interaction Predictions
