Abstract

My overarching research goal is to provide robots with perceptional abilities that allow interactions with humans in a human-like manner. To develop these perceptional abilities, I believe that it is useful to study the principles of the human visual system. I use these principles to develop new computer vision algorithms and validate their effectiveness in intelligent robotic systems. I am enthusiastic about this approach as it offers the dual benefit of uncovering principles inherent in the human visual system, as well as applying these principles to its artificial counterpart.
