Prof. Benjamin Kuipers is pursuing research into the
areas of robot learning, perception, exploration, spatial mapping and
navigation, and human-robot interaction. He and his group are working on the
Intelligent Robotic Wheelchair (now in its second generation), which uses laser
range-finders and computer vision to perceive a local indoor environment.
Recent research results include computer vision methods for indoor scene
understanding, control methods for safe and comfortable motion by the
wheelchair, and an efficient method for managing a potentially large number of
hypothesized cognitive maps. The research in the Kuipers group is sponsored in
part by the National Science Foundation and by the Toyota Technical Center in
Ann Arbor.
