RESEARCH

I recently defended my thesis proposal. Here are the slides from my presentation and the written thesis proposal document.

My dissertation research focuses on achieving long-term learning through ensembles of linear models. Currently, this research is being applied towards the unsolved problem of robot navigation in unstructured outdoor environments.

Datasets

As part of my dissertation research, I continue to extract and hand-label datasets from the DARPA LAGR program. Here they are converted from the proprietary LAGR format (which requires the LAGR robot APIs to read) and put in a more accessible MATLAB format.

Braitenberg Vehicles

Please see my research on Braitenberg Vehicles.

Pixelwise Image Labeler

I've created an application to aid in the labeling of images in a dataset. See my page on Pixelwise Image Labeler.
