Prof. Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech was named among 10 individuals elevated to Fellow status by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.
âAAAI is thrilled to announce the election of ten new Fellows for their lasting contributions to the breadth of #AI, including Planning, RL, Robotics, NLP, CBR and Vision The new fellows will be inducted (astrally) and felicitated (with secret hand-shake etc.) during #AAAI2021,â the association said in a tweet.
Goel is a professor of computer science and human-centered computing in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, his bio notes.
The Indian American professor received his Ph.D. in computer and information science from Ohio State University in 1989 and joined the Georgia Tech faculty the same year. At Georgia Tech, he has been a co-director of the Center for Biologically Inspired Design (2008-18) and the director of the Ph.D. program in Human-Center

OpenAI trained the software, known as Dall-E, to generate images from short text captions. It specifically used a dataset of 12 billion images and their captions, which were found on the internet.
The lab said Dall-E a portmanteau of Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali and Wall-E, a small animated robot from the Pixar movie of the same name had learned how to create images for a wide range of concepts.
OpenAI showed off some of the results in a blog post published on Tuesday. We ve found that it [Dall-E] has a diverse set of capabilities, including creating anthropomorphized versions of animals and objects, combining unrelated concepts in plausible ways, rendering text, and applying transformations to existing images, the company wrote.
Robin Murphy and
Ayanna Howard from our first “25 women in robotics you need to know about” list in 2013 and 2014. These women give unstintingly of their time, creating robots that improve the quality of life, advancing research, inspiring and supporting students, and sharing their passion for engineering with the world.
Ayanna Howard says “I think as engineers we have an amazing power, where we can take people’s wishes and convert them into reality”
And Robin Murphy agrees, “My job is so incredibly fulfilling, it’s about the science and technology and the way it could be used for societal good, that’s a big deal to me,”
