Academic Achievements
- C-Uniform Sampling for Motion and Path Planning: Introduced the notion of C-Uniformity and investigated how such sampling strategies can be used to improve sampling-based model predictive control. Learning Geometric Structures: Explores learning representations for the space of all polygons and methods to sample this learned space. Active Perception: Includes research on tracking and reconstructing dynamic objects, such as Human Follow Ahead and Articulated Object Reconstruction projects.
Research Experience
- Head of Samsung's AI center in NY from 2021 to 2023; Co-founded Farm Vision Technologies; Worked at the University of Minnesota for over 16 years before moving to UT.
Background
- Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, also a core member of Texas Robotics. Research area includes robotics applied to environmental monitoring and agricultural automation (and more recently, home automation.) Particularly interested in perception-action coupling and networked robotics.
Miscellany
- Teaching CS 395T SENSOR PLANNING FOR ROBOTICS in Fall 2025.
