Co-sponsored by: GMU Abstract: Robust autonomy remains a difficult problem for complex, partially observable, and real-time environments such as robotics (e.g. mars rovers, underwater vehicles) and complex video games including Starcraft and Minecraft. Goal reasoning is a growing research area for controlling agents operating in these kinds of environments. Goal reasoning agents reason over their... Read more →

Co-sponsored by: GMU With the continuous improvement of the capabilities of robots and the increasing complexity of the environments they successfully traverse, my research is geared towards the investigation of mathematical concepts and algorithms about the heterogeneous nature of these environments within the context of motion planning.
