Media Videos Robot demos, experiments, talks, and teaching material. Robotics RoboCup@Home Participant and technical committee work for real-world service robotics.

Research Focus

  • Generalized action models for household robots.
  • Context-aware manipulation actions such as cutting, pouring, transporting, and mixing.
  • Scene graphs, domain knowledge, symbolic reasoning, and action cores for more autonomous robot behavior.
  • Cognitive models and scalable algorithms for multi-step, context-dependent tasks.
