<p>

As a researcher, I work on many <a href="robotics.html">robots</a> at the <a href="http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu">Field Robotics Center</a>.
My background is in Computer Science, so I write the software that brings these vehicles to life.
However it takes people with diverse specialties like mechanical and electrical engineers to actually construct these machines.
As well as biologists, geologistics or others to give these robots a purpose.

</p>

<p>

The best part though is testing these vehicles in the field.
Simulations and lab demonstrations are important, but there is no substitute for taking a prototype out into the field.
Seeing a collection of sensors and motors operate in unison and become a robot is an inspiring event.

</p>

<p>

The other truly rewarding part is sharing this experience with others.

<p>
If you ask people about me they will have all sorts of things to say - though you're guaranteed to hear about volleyball, computer science and cooking.
There are plenty of other things to be sure; friends, family, free t-shirts and of course futurama.
</p>

<p>
Depending on whom you run into you might hear some other crazy stories...
Perhaps an obsessive tea habit, Polish relations or even a cell phone with an antenna - how ridiculous!
If it sounds dull or disreputable don't believe a word they say.
</p>

<p>
Instead you should ask me in person, so come find me.
I might be on campus near the highbays.
If you come for a look, I guarantee you'll see something interesting.
Another great spot is at the sands courts in Highland Park, at least on nice sunny days.
Even on lousy days I've still gotta eat, so wait at Whole Foods until I inevitably show up.

During outreach events I like to hand out postcards as promotional material.
They are excellent souvenirs as well as educational aides, allowing me to describe what the vehicle does in the field.

In total I've given away thousands of them to all kinds of people - from children in remote villages to US Congressmen in Washington, DC.
Here are the designs I've created for various events:

I do spend a good chunk of my time writing code.
Usually it's relatively low-level functionality - I get a lot of satisfaction from robust code that higher software layers can safely rely upon.
</p>

<p class=L>
But that's not what I want to share with you.
You'd probably find it boring.
</p>

<p class=L>
Here's a few things that might actually be useful to other people:
</p>

<ul class=L>

<li>
<a href="makewebgallery.sh">makewebgallery.sh</a>
- this script converts a directory of images into a gallery.
It uses <code>convert</code> to make thumbnails and generates an html page for each images as well as a <code>gallery.html</code> file to act as an index.
</li>

<li>
<a href="autogen.c">autogen.c</a>
- this is the program I use to maintain my webpage.
It uses a layout file <a href="layout.html">layout.html</a> to create a template and source file <a href="source.txt">source.txt</a> to populate each individual page.
</li>

I started in the Field Robotics Center after graduation, however my 
fascination started as an undergraduate.  I was fortunate enough to take 
Mobile Robot Programming Lab with Illah and this 
was an excellent introduction.  Senior year I got another break, I got 
involved with a major project at the FRC that eventually turned into a 
full-time position.

Life in the Atacama (LITA) explored the limits of life in harsh desert 
environments and developmented methodologies for remote exploration in 
general.  We used Hyperion and Zoe to autonomously navigate the Atacama 
desert in Chile.  The rovers were directed by a remote science team to 
characterize promising areas using a suite of instruments.  I started with 
data analysis then continued into systems integration, rover operation and 
navigation.

Life on Ice; Robotic Antarctic Explorer (LORAX) involved retrofitting Nomad 
with a turbine and porting software from Zoe.  The culmination of our field 
test on Mascoma lake in New Hampshire was a 14km autonomous traverse, two 
laps around the frozen lake.  Although this demonstrated the feasibility of 
circling an exposed peak in the antarctic, the project was not selected for 
deployment.  My role centered around porting software and operating the rover.

Deep Phreatic Thermal Explorer (DepthX) involved building a new vehicle and 
evolving Zoe's software to this new platform.  Through this rover, we mapped 
large sink holes in Mexico, including the first map of Zacaton.  Due to the 
environment, this vehicle was completely autonomous and routinely 
operated for hours without any contact.  My role included system integration, 
navigation, rover operation and fault monitoring.

Science on the Fly (SOTF) was, in many respects, an extension of Life in the 
Atacama.  We continued using Zoe and added new software to interpret science 
data in the lava flow around Amboy Crater.  The key behavior we developed was 
to autonomously select targets and drive to them based on the data collected 
en route.  I helped maintain Zoe's existing functionality and made changes to 
allow internal software specify navigation goals (rather than a scripted plan 
as in LITA).

Lunar Rover Initiative (LRI) created a mobile drilling platform with the goal

drive autonomously in the dark and had a novel mechanical design.  We 
demonstrated the capability of traveling over complex terrain and drilling on 
steep slopes.  I helped with most of the software including the operating 
environment, low-level interfaces to lasers and the motor controller and 
integration with Zoe's navigator and executive.
