A Data-Driven Vision Compiler for Automatic Object Pose Recognition
Event Location: NSH 1507Bio: My ultimate goal is to solve the robotics problem: combine vision, perception, planning, and control into one coherent framework to create intelligent and autonomous robots. Since I joined The Robotics Institute, I've been working on such an architecture titled OpenRAVE. My current research focuses on statistical planning using machine learning to [...]
