IEEE Atlanta PES Technical Talk: PART 1 “Power system modelling and analysis in networks with high share of inverter-based resources”
Program: This presentation provides an overview of following: - Inverter topologies, operating principles and control for various forms of inverter-based resources including grid-forming and grid following inverters - Power system dynamic modelling and analysis - Grid connection processes and lessons learned Speaker(s): Babak Badrzadeh, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/391642
Robotics at the Edge: Agile and Intelligent Machines for Operating in Complex Environments
Future robotic systems must be able to operate and collaborate in complex environments with imperfect information at operationally-relevant speeds. However, today’s robots often fall far short of the agility, intuition, and resiliency required for meaningful real-world impact. In this talk, I will present on some of the research my team is conducting at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) to develop dramatically more capable robots that can operate at the very edge of physical and computational limits. In particular, I will present on our efforts to achieve agile autonomous flight with aerobatic fixed-wing UAVs for precision landing, high-speed navigation in constrained urban environments, and dynamic multi-vehicle operations. I will also present some of our recent research on the optimal coordination of multi-robot teams to achieve tactical behaviors in complex environments and terrains. Finally, I will discuss some future research directions, such as assuring controller performance, safe learning-based control, and the control of nonlinear hybrid dynamical systems.

IEEE Cincinnati January 2024 Section Meeting (please note date)
Indoor agriculture has been around for a long time, but is changing to meet the needs of the modern world. Specifically, there is a great deal of technology involved to maximize the amount of food grown per acre while reducing resource consumption. This presentation will discuss one approach to solving the problem.

MOVE Tech Talk – Jan 2024 – Flight to End Polio
MOVE Tech Talk – Jan 2024 – Flight to End Polio
John Ockenfels and Peter Teahen’s Flight to End Polio took three months to circumnavigate the globe. Getting their single engine Cessna 210 off the ground took three years. In our April 2023 Tech Talk, John Ockenfels and Peter Teahen gave a presentation on the preparations for the flight. In this month’s Tech Talk, they will give a presentation on the three-month trip to circumnavigate the globe. On 30 July, after traveling about 26,000 miles, Teahen and Ockenfels landed safely at the Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids. Along the course of their flight, they had participated in 24 fundraisers (the money raised there has yet to be tallied). I hope you can join us for an update on A Flight to Fight Polio >> https://www.rotary.org/en/flight-fight-polio Both Peter and John are pilots, Rotarians, and members of the Fellowship of Flying Rotarians. Polio eradication has been a primary focus of Rotary for over 35 years and continues to be a major initiative. While the end of polio may be near, no child anywhere is safe until every child has been vaccinated.

Key Findings from the IEEE-USA Consultants Fee Survey Report for Local Consultants Network Chairs
Key Findings from the IEEE-USA Consultants Fee Survey Report for Local Consultants Network Chairs
A Consultants Committee Virtual Meeting In early 2022, the (https://ieeeusa.org/committees/aicncc/) polled local consultant network chairs to find out the status of their local groups. What we learned is that many local networks were having trouble restarting activities after having such a long layoff from in-person meetings. We also learned that many chairs have questions about activities of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. On January 25 at 12:00pm-1:00pm EST, the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee is again sponsoring a virtual workshop for local consultant network chairs. We have asked Dr. Johannes Schaefer, Senior Manager with IEEE Strategic Research and author of the (https://ieeeusa.org/product/ieee-usa-consultants-fee-survey-report-2023-edition/) to give a presentation on key findings from the report. Dr. Schaefer will be joined by members of IEEE-USA Consultants Committee to add their commentary about the impact on independent consultants from findings of the survey. The committee also wants this workshop to be an interactive discussion with network chairs regarding the report. After the presentation, there will be a Q/A with members of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. IEEE-USA Consultants Committee members want to address any questions about the committee's activities that local chairs may have. The speaker will address any additional questions chairs may have regarding the presentation. So, we invite all Chairs, Vice Chairs and other network officers, as well as potential future Board members, to attend this online event. This meeting will be recorded to be used as an on Demand resource. Speaker(s): Johannes Schaefer, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/390924
