Research and Patents

This is a place to collect some info on my patents, publications, and previous research. I hope to add some of my current and newer work too, as it becomes public. My work is mostly in the area of AI in general, and specifically robotics and perception.

Selected public talks and media are availible here.

An overview of my PhD and MSc work is preserved here.
