Research interests

My research interests are in sensors and their application in robotics, medical instrumentation, and industrial process control.

Research interest keywords

atmospheric optics, display devices, graphics, image processing, inspection, and sensors

Additional Interests and Responsibilities

I am the Robotics Institute webmaster.

I also maintain the non-students RI email distribution lists, RI doorlabels - NSH and EDSH - and the RI printed directories in NSH.

downloadable, editable PostScript door label

Furthermore, I provide consulting, prototyping, and information technology to various labs and projects as requested.

Miscellaneous

Here's a picture of me and Robby the Robot from the Forbidden Planet movie (1957) at the second annual Robot Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Oct 11, 2004.

Current Labs & Groups [Past labs]

Intelligent Sensor, Measurement, and Control Lab - robotics for difficult measurements in difficult environments, 3D-stereoscopic display systems, and sensor-based measurement, medical, and control systems	Medical Instrumentation Lab - We are developing intelligent tools for microsurgery and minimally invasive surgery.
Tele-Supervised Autonomous Robotics - Research in the T-SAR lab focusses on providing end-to-end tools for telesupervision of autonomous robots.

Current Projects [Past projects]

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robot - Very Low Cost - We are deveopling a suite of highly capable mobile robots for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and First Responders which are very low in total ownership costs.

Telesupervised Adaptive Ocean Sensor Fleet - We are developing a HAB Investigation Telesupervised Adaptive Sensor System (HABITASS) to address the limitations of existing systems.
