Research
The realization of autonomous mobile manipulators will enable
a variety of applications with significant societal, scientific, and
economical impact.
To enable autonomous manipulation of previously unseen objects,
robots must possess perceptual capabilities for modeling objects
in their environment and for observing their motion during
manipulation.
My research focuses on the development of a set of perceptual
skills,
in service of manipulation in unstructured environments.
These skills would enable a robot to acquire the information
necessary
to interact with a previously unseen object in a purposeful way.
