Welcome!
The Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics (LPR) is in the
Computer Science Department
at UMass, Amherst. Our lab
studies intelligent computational systems that solve sensory and
motor problems. Experimental platforms include colonies of independent
(heterogeneous) robots, sensors networks, mobile manipulators, and
integrated humanoid systems.
We study: knowledge representations grounded in closed-loop interactions
with the domain; robots that communicate with one another and
with us; learning architectures that model development in
biological systems; human-robot interactions and wearable computing; and
high-dimensional motion planning and navigation.
