I am also working at another center of the Robotics Institute
called
the
National Robotics
Engineering
Consortium

My research interests include perception, planning, control, position estimation and human interfaces for mobile robots. I am particularly interested in sensors and algorithms for mapping, obstacle avoidance, object recognition, and visual servoing because these perceptual capabilities can create useful mobile robots with today's technology. I am also interested in inertial and satellite navigation and in navigation algorithms such as Kalman Filters which use such sensors.
Most of my publications are in three areas of inquiry. Off road navigation deals with the challenge of making robots which can drive themselves competently outdoors. Vision based localization tries to guide vehicles effectively based only on visual cues. Motion planning is the problem of determining a path or a best path from one place to another. I have been working on very high speed motion planning. More on these here.
Use these if you are writing a proposal with me and I pointed you to my web page.
