Research
My research aims to enable robots to operate fluently in human environments, with the long-term goal of deploying interactive service robots in homes and workplaces. My lab studies how robots can interact effectively with people and function robustly in places designed for people rather than for machines. This work draws on models of human behavior, system architectures for autonomy, and perception. To study these questions in practice, I build and field integrated robotic systems that combine machine learning, foundation models, large language models, and semantic mapping and perception.
