Past Labs & Groups

Computational Sensor Laboratory - We are developing specialty imaging sensors for improving robustness and capabilities of robot vision systems.	Intelligent Desktop Group - We are developing vision technologies for intelligent desktops.
Vision and Mobile Robotics Lab - Our group studies fundamental problems of Computer Vision and ground mobile robotics.

Past Projects

Cognitive Colonies - We are developing the basic principles that will best govern a group of robots trying to do useful work in difficult and hazardous environments.	CTA Robotics - This project adresses the problems of scene interpretation and path planning for mobile robot navigation in natural environment.
Tactical Mobile Robotics - As part of the DARPA Tactial Mobile Robotics program, we are developing techniques for semi-autonomous navigation of a small robot in urban environments.	Tele-Graffiti - A system that allows two or more users to communicate remotely via hand-drawn sketches.
