Man-Machine Collaboration: Intelligent Systems as Robots In this Webinar, Dr. Sridhar Raghavan will share his thoughts from his long-time research thrust on Intelligent Man-Machine Collaboration, especially on creative problem solving activities like Decision Making, Software Development and Music. In these contexts, Machines can & do play a range of roles spanning & serving across the continuum from idiot-savants to loosely-coupled autonomous systems. His central conjecture is that Systems are actually Robots, and Robots are actually Systems, and they share a lot of things about collaboration and productivity that can be applied & should be applied seamlessly both ways. He will illustrate the "Perspective Shift" through many common domain examples including the emerging AI Agentic space. Register here. for the joining link.   9 Sep 2025 6-7:30 PM Boston Time 
Automated Public Transit   This is part of the ongoing AI Talks with Coffee/Tea series. This presentation explores the evolution of automated transportation within public transit systems, focusing on ADASTEC’s real-world deployments and technology. Attendees will gain insights into deployment use cases, market drivers, safety compliance, and regulatory standards. The session will also address key engineering topics including sensor configurations, modular vs end-to-end AI models, and testing methodologies under real-world conditions. Register here.   23 Sep 2025 2-4:30 PM Boston Time 
RAGs to Riches with Oracle AI Microservices Sandbox   This is part of the ongoing AI Talks with Coffee/Tea series. This session is an ACM Boston Java Users Group meeting sponsored by IEEE NH Com/Sig Society.
