Biography
My current research addresses the problem of concurrent mapping and localization (CML) for autonomous mobile robots. The problem of CML is stated as follows: starting from an initial position, a mobile robot travels through a sequence of positions and obtains a set of sensor measurements at each position. The goal is for the mobile robot to process the sensor data to produce an estimate of its position while concurrently building a map of the environment. While the problem of CML is deceptively easy to state, it presents many theoretical challenges. The problem is also of great practical importance; if a robust, general-purpose solution to CML can be found, then many new applications of mobile robotics will become possible.
