Research
We create algorithms that enable robots to work in uncertain and
unfamiliar worlds. I work on autonomous robot
planning, architectures for robot intelligence, robots that
learn, robot manipulation, machine vision and general machine learning. One goal of my
work is to endow a robot with explicit representations of
what it does and doesn't
know, and of how its knowledge changes
under the actions it can perform. This ability allows
robots to plan in challenging worlds where they know little.
I am a member of the Intelligent
Robotics Laboratory, and of CN-CR, a centre for
neuroscience and robotics. In my own laboratory I am lucky
enough to work with a wonderful team of about a dozen incredibly talented
researchers, most of whom work on dexterous robot manipulation.
Previously, I was the Project Coordinator for the FP7 funded project
PacMan on robot
manipulation. I also coordinated the CogX
project on robots that plan and learn in the face of
knowledge gaps. I worked in the project Strands on long term
autonomy and spatial temporal mapping, and I was part of
the projects GeRT
on robot manipulation, and CoSy on Cognitive
Robotics.
