We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...
— To realize natural human-robot interactions and investigate the developmental mechanism of human communication, an effective approach is to construct models by which a robot im...
One important design decision for the development of autonomously navigating mobile robots is the choice of the representation of the environment. This includes the question which...
This paper presents a technique for mapping partially observable features from multiple uncertain vantage points. The problem of concurrent mapping and localization (CML) is state...

My research attempts to address on-line action selection in reinforcement learning from a Bayesian perspective. The idea is to develop more effective action selection techniques b...
