Title: Feedback control from pixels

Abstract:
Control theory has an answer for just about everything, but seems to fall
short when it comes to closing a feedback loop using a camera.  Recent
examples from RL and imitation learning demonstrate the great promise of
using cameras in the loop, but donâ€™t leverage the rigorous tools from
systems theory.  Iâ€™d like to discuss why, and show a few recent results
where we are trying to take some small steps in this direction.
