Session: Motion Planning and Computational Game Theory: From Board Games to Surgical Procedures (2011 SACNAS National Conference)

Friday, October 28, 2011: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM

Room B3 (San Jose Convention Center)

Chair:

Edgar Lobaton, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Description: One of the common objectives of Game Theory and Motion Planning is to accomplish tasks by selecting a sequence of moves or actions. In this session we will discuss applications ranging from gaming to control and estimation of medical robotic devices for surgical procedures.
