I lead the PRAISe (Perception, Robotics, AI and Sensing) Lab at CU. I work at the intersection of Perception, Robotics, AI and Computational Imaging in order to push the boundaries of robot autonomy. The Minimal Perception framework holds the key to developing small yet intelligent and efficient robot navigation systems. I focus on active and bio-inspired perception algorithms, validating our theories by developing and deploying them on robots. At PRAISe, we pioneer minimal perception framework enabling tiny robot autonomy through onboard novel sensing and computation. We strive to employ our robotics solutions to do good and to make meaningful contributions to humanity and nature.
