is an Honorary Professor in Robot Systems in the School of Computer Science at University 麻豆精选. Prior to that, he was a Reader in Cognitive Robot Systems in the School. He designs and algorithms and architectures to address challenges in knowledge representation and reasoning, cognitive systems, machine learning, and computational vision, as applied to adaptive robots and agents collaborating with humans. In addition, he also designs and adapts algorithms to address estimation and prediction problems in non-robotics domains such as intelligent transportation, agricultural automation, and climate informatics.

Research

His primary research interests include knowledge representation and reasoning, cognitive systems, machine learning, and computational vision, as applied to adaptive robots and software agents. Specifically, he designs algorithms and architectures to address the following research questions:

  • How best to enable robots to represent and reason reliably and efficiently with qualitative and quantitative descriptions of incomplete knowledge and uncertainty?
  • How best to enable robots to learn interactively and cumulatively from sensor inputs and limited human feedback?
  • How best to enable designers to understand the robot’s behavior and establish that it satisfies desirable properties?

He takes an integrated cognitive systems approach to address these questions, i.e., his algorithms and architectures explicitly exploit the dependencies between (and jointly explore) the representation, reasoning, learning, and control problems.

In parallel to his research in human-robot collaboration, he develops and adapts algorithms to address estimation and prediction problems in domains such as intelligent transportation, agricultural irrigation management, climate informatics, and software project management.
