Research Projects in Robotics and Sensory Perception

Our current research projects are focused on understanding and using sensor signals. In particular, we are investigating computational intelligence techniques for studying real-time sensory perception and interactive human-machine interfaces, and applying them to robotics, sketch understanding, and (now) gait analysis.
