IEEE HKN Iota Sigma Chapter would like to invite you to attend an exciting workshop to make the minipupper (robot dog) to dance autonoumous using AWS IoT Core services . Plus, you'll have the chance to win your very own minipupper kit! This workshop is designed to provide participants with an introduction to AWS tools that facilitate the seamless integration of cloud environments (AWS) with edge device operations, specifically focusing on the minipupper. Through an engaging and interactive activity, attendees will have the opportunity to make the robot dog dance to music of their choice, fostering a fun and educational experience. This workshop serves as an interactive learning opportunity for enthusiastic students and educators in the fields of robotics and IoT (Internet of Things). It offers a unique chance to explore the capabilities of AWS tools in a practical setting, enabling participants to gain hands-on experience with cloud-to-edge device integration. Additionally, this workshop serves as a precursor to the upcoming minipupper dance competition organized by the IEEE Philadelphia section. Participants will not only have the chance to compete but also stand a chance to win a complete set of minipupper or receive a monetary reward from the IEEE Philadelphia section. This competition presents a valuable opportunity for showcasing skills and creativity within the robotics community. Since the seats are limited, we encourage you to register as soon as possible. If you decide to come, please bring a laptop. Agenda: - 9:30am -10:00am registration - 10:00am-12:00pm workshop - 12:00-1:00pm lunch provided - 1:00-2:00pm demonstration - 2:00-2:30pm closing ceremony.

Graphs are pervasive in various fields, including social networks, biological interactomes, transportation networks, and more. Understanding these graphs through structured representations is crucial for grasping their complex topologies and interdependencies, which are vital for numerous applications within these domains. In recent years, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have attracted considerable attention and shown promising results in many graph learning tasks. Despite this progress, learning long-range dependencies within graphs continues to be a significant challenge. In this talk, Dr. Ma will discuss their recent advancements in enhancing the expressive power of GNNs to capture long-range information in graphs effectively, addressing real-world challenges in diverse interdisciplinary applications, such as medical image, brain network analysis, social network mining, and program analysis. She will also introduce innovative work in using graph machine learning for efficient workload partitioning in system optimization. This approach not only improves system performance but also supports the scalable distributed training of large-scale GNNs. Join us for an enlightening session!
