| * **Sensor Fusion** - Arguably, this is perhaps one of the most celebrated research areas among roboticists of all times. My focus is to study and develop unified methods for sensor fusion that are not only scalable to large environments but also simultaneously to a large number of sensors. | * **Sensor Fusion** - Arguably, this is perhaps one of the most celebrated research areas among roboticists of all times.

| - | * **Robot Vision** - Target tracking, robot localization and mapping using robotic vision is my primary focus. At the same time, I am interested in studying cameras that follow non-conventional projection models, e.g., fisheye lens-based cameras that follow equidistant project. Their non-conventional optics fascinates me and leads me to believe they can be exploited for far more efficient and elegant vision algorithms than the current state-of-the-art. | + | * **Robot Vision** - Target tracking, robot localization and mapping using robotic vision is my primary focus.

| * **Human-Robot Interaction** - The human factor in successful real-world deployment of robotic systems is undeniable. Whether it concerns remotely operating robots or dealing one-to-one with an assistant robot in a public place, interaction not only needs to be natural for humans but also cost effective for the robotic system such that their performance in real time is guaranteed. The issue is further amplified when we consider human interaction with multi-robot systems and in large environments. My research focus is to study how i) the //naturalness// of human-robot interaction and ii) scalability of multi-robot functionalities, are correlated and to develop unified methods that efficiently handle the trade-offs between the aforementioned. | * **Human-Robot Interaction** - The human factor in successful real-world deployment of robotic systems is undeniable.

| * **RoCKIn: Robot Competitions Kick Innovation in Cognitive Systems and Robotics (FP7-EU-601012)** [Quoted from the project's website] "RoCKIn is an EU project that will be run over the next three years (2013-2016), consisting of robot competitions, symposiums, educational RoCKIn camps and technology transfer workshops. The mission is to act as a catalyst for smarter, more dependable robots. It is done by building upon the principles of challenge-driven innovation laid down by RoboCup, facilitating cognitive and networked robot systems' testing, and streamlining research and development through standardised testbeds and benchmarks. For this there are two challenges which will run concurrently in 2014 and 2015 with an introductory event to be held in June 2013. These challenges were selected due to their high relevance and impact on Europe's societal and industrial needs." http://rockinrobotchallenge.eu/ | * **RoCKIn: Robot Competitions Kick Innovation in Cognitive Systems and Robotics (FP7-EU-601012)** [Quoted from the project's website] "RoCKIn is an EU project that will be run over the next three years (2013-2016), consisting of robot competitions, symposiums, educational RoCKIn camps and technology transfer workshops.
