    40. 

  40. <p>I was selected for an NSF-funded undergraduate research experience at the University of Cincinnati. I and two other students researched novel stereovision filtering, computer vision, and obstacle avoidance algorithms on UC&apos;s intelligent ground vehicles.</p>
    41. 

  41. <p>As a graduate student at Drexel University, I participated in the DARPA Robotics Challenge and developed experience with the Hubo humanoid robot.</p>
    42.

  43. <h3 id="human-robot-interaction" class="deep-link"><a href="#human-robot-interaction">Human-robot interaction</a></h3>
    44. 

  44. <p>How can we ensure our robot-filled future is full of perceptive, helpful, friendly robots, rather than dumb, pesky, frustrating ones?</p>
    45. 

  45. <h4 id="why-im-no-longer-interested" class="deep-link"><a href="#why-im-no-longer-interested">Why I&apos;m no longer interested</a></h4>
    46. 

  46. <p>As of 2012-2014, the technology is just not mature/reliable enough to do meaningful experiments with humanoid robots.
    47. 

  47. The robots I had to work with were too dumb, pesky, frustrating for even <em>me</em> to put up with. And that&apos;s saying something.</p>
    48. 

  48. <h3 id="perception" class="deep-link"><a href="#perception">Perception</a></h3>
    49. 

  49. <p>How to make sense of the wealth of sensor data available to robots</p>
    50.

    51. 

  51. <p>Actually, it would still probably be a pretty interesting field. But frankly, it looks like
    52. 

  52. machine vision, 3D reconstruction from video, augmented reality physics, etc all seem
    53. 

  53. to be coming along just fine.</p>
    54. 

  54. <h3 id="machine-learning" class="deep-link"><a href="#machine-learning">Machine learning</a></h3>
    55. 

  55. <p>How to organize and apply knowledge</p>
    56.

    57. 

  57. <p>I&apos;m a machine learning hipster. I was into it before it was a buzzword.
    58. 

  58. After studying it for three years at university, I was kind of disappointed in a &quot;this is it?&quot; way.
    59. 

  59. Then deep neural nets took off, and the tools became so plug-and-play that everyone
    60. 

  60. and their dog can build an &quot;app&quot; that uses machine learning. While neural nets do indeed organize
    61. 

  61. knowledge, to date the ML field has been obsessed with results/performance,
    62. 

  62. without concerning itself with <em>understanding</em> how these nets are organizing that knowledge.
    63. 

  63. It is a very shallow victory.</p>
    64. 

  64. <h3 id="machine-ethics" class="deep-link"><a href="#machine-ethics">Machine ethics</a></h3>
    65. 

  65. <p>What do we tell cognitive agents about how to behave? Can we define or enforce ethical robot / AI behavior?</p>
    66.

    67. 

  67. <p>I don&apos;t believe it matters, because they can&apos;t be any worse than humans.</p>

    70. 

  70. <p>How can we best take advantage of game-changing cheap hardware, like the Kinect and Android phones?</p>
    71.

    72. 

  72. <p>As the number of embedded computers increases, how can we keep the interface complexity from also increasing?</p>
    73. 

  73. <h3 id="disposable-computing" class="deep-link"><a href="#disposable-computing">Disposable Computing</a></h3>
    74. 

  74. <p>How cheap can computing get? Raspberry Pi Zero, unlimited free cloud deployments... could we start replacing our smartphones every week? Every day?</p>
