Research Areas:

overview

NLP (natural language processing) integration into AR (augmented) and VR (virtual) reality environments.

VR and AR research in training optimization and safety improvement for HRI (Human Robot interface)

Robotic application to manufacturing environments. Ex sanding, loading/unloading, human-robot interaction, swarming to enable complex task completion

Biomedical robotic application for limb replacement and control.

Datacenter system optimization especially with respect to CPU performance, IO latency and memory subsystem optimization under NVM, switching, SDI, SDN, SDS

Sensor system development as applied to agriculture ex soil analysis, AI for farm management in climatically hostile environments, herding of cattle as well as daily task optimizations ex. human movement tracking of heavy loads, applications of drones to security
