SUMMARY:CAESAR Seminar: James Kuffner: "Motion Planning for Humanoid Robo
 ts"
CREATED:20061029T120000Z
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:This talk will discuss the challenge of motion auton
 omy for humanoid robots and present an overview of several autonomous mo
 tion generation methods designed for application tasks involving navigat
 ion\, object grasping and manipulation\, footstep placement\, and full-b
 ody motions. Experimental results obtained by implementations running wi
 thin a simulation environment as well as on actual humanoid robot hardwa
 re will be shown. Finally\, the long-term prospects for the future devel
 opment of robot autonomy and artificial intelligence based on planning a
 lgorithms will be discussed.BIOGRAPHY:James Kuffner is an Assistant Prof
 essor at the Robotics Institute\, Computer Science Dept.\, Carnegie Mell
 on University. He received a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from Stan
 ford University in 1993 and 1995\, and a Ph.D. from the Stanford Univers
 ity Dept. of Computer Science Robotics Laboratory in 1999. He was a Japa
 n Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Research Fell
 ow at the University of Tokyo from 1999 to 2001. He joined the faculty a
 t Carnegie Mellon University in May 2002. His research interests include
  robotics\, motion planning\, and computer graphics and animation. See h
