Title:

Architecture and algorithms for reactive multi-modal sensing, illumination, and displays

Abstract:

I will discuss our investigations in both algorithm development and architecture design to enable real-time multi-modal perception from the perspective of human, robot, or automobiles. We want to understand where they are in a 3D environment, where they are looking at, what they see (people, objects, places), and in real-time react to what they perceive with proper illumination, display, and control to enable novel human experiences and advanced robotic functionality.
