Research Interests

My current research is concerned with applications of declarative Artificial Intelligence to robotics (Cognitive Robotics). In particular, I am interested in knowledge representations of space and how an agent (robot) grounds these representations in its actual experiences in the world. Using classical control theory I have developed algorithms for robust robot navigation which ground the continuous interaction of a robot with the environment. symbolic representations of space are created from this continuous interaction with the world.

Projects

Intelligent Wheelchair Project: The Intelligent Wheelchair Project is a joint effort with the Qualitative Reasoning Research Group. Its objective is to integrate different Artificial Intelligence techniques in order to design an autonomous wheelchair which will assist people with mobility impairments. My contribution to this project is to design a human level driver-wheelchair interface as well as the implementation of navigation routines to enhance the capabilities of the wheelchair.
