Research Experience
- Leads the General Robotics Lab at Duke University
- Develops multimodal perception systems integrating vision, sound, vibration, smell, and touch for robust environmental understanding
- Explores machine learning and evolution in dynamic environments, including self-aware robots, computational robot design, and policy transfer/sharing
- Investigates effective communication and collaboration between machines, humans, and other machines through natural interaction and coordinated action
- Applies AI and robotics to accelerate scientific discovery in domains such as healthcare and materials science
Background
- Dickinson Family Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Dept. of Computer Science at Duke University
- Leads the General Robotics Lab
- Research interests span Robotics, Perception, Machine Learning, Human-AI Teaming, AI for Science, and Dynamical Systems
- Focuses on building autonomous machines that sense, adapt, and connect to advance embodied intelligence, drawing inspiration from natural intelligence in humans and animals
- Takes a 'full-stack' approach to study both the 'body' and 'brain' of machines
