About

My research focuses on building robotic systems that can fluently coordinate and collaborate with people in complex human environments - for example, in a factory setting in close proximity with people. In order to successfully act within a group, a robot must be able to perceive and predict the intentions of other group members and use that knowledge to determine when, where, and how to act for the team's benefit. My work uses robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning approaches to tackle these problems.
