I work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Human-AI Teaming, designing embodied AI systems that extend and augment human capabilities. My work focuses on robots performing in complex environments that were not possible before, enabling new levels of collaboration and autonomy. I am driven by the challenge and opportunity of achieving societal impact through robotics, tackling significant real world problems, and ultimately creating systems that enhance human productivity and decision-making in challenging environments. At CU, I lead the Human Interaction and RObotics group [HIRO]. Our research is both human-inspired and human-centered. We believe that to build truly capable and general-purpose robots, we must look at people not just as users, but as models of intelligence. Two pillars of human cognition guide our work: Embodied Intelligence, i.e. our ability to learn through embodied interaction with the physical world, and Social Intelligence, i.e. our capacity for social intelligence in complex, cooperative settings.

Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Spring 2020 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
Introduces students to fundamental concepts in autonomous robotics: mechanisms, locomotion, kinematics, control, perception and planning. Consists of lectures and lab sessions that are geared toward developing a complete navigation stack on a miniature mobile robotic platform. Same as ECEN 3303 and CSPB 3302.
CSCI 4830 - Special Topics in Computer Science
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2022 / Fall 2023
Covers topics of interest in computer science at the senior undergraduate level. Content varies from semester to semester. Only 9 credit hours from CSCI 4830 and/or CSCI 4831 can count toward Computer Science BS or BA.
