Talk
In my
talk I will present our work using computer vision to track social animals
(ants, bees and monkeys), as well as other techniques (e.g. HMMs) to automatically
identify their behavior. I will also
report on our application of social insect "algorithms" to control
multi-robot teams.
This
is work with Frank Dellaert, Zia Khan, Adam Feldman and Kieth O'Hara.
Speaker Biography |
Tucker Balch completed a Ph.D.
degree in Computer Science at Georgia Tech in 1998. He then joined the faculty at CMU, first as a
postdoctoral fellow in the Computer Science Department, then as a research
scientist in the Robotics Institute. At
CMU he worked with Manuela Veloso in the MultiRobot Lab. Tucker joined the faculty at Georgia Tech in
2001, where he established the BORG Lab with Frank Dellaert. Professor Balch has published over 60
refereed conference and journal articles in robotics and computer vision (his
efforts in poetry and haiku have not been as successful however). Balch won an NSF CAREER Award in 2004.
