Matthew Walter is a research scientist in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. He is working in collaboration with Seth Teller as well as Emilio Frazzoli and Nick Roy, among others.
Robots will inspire human trust only if they prove able to work safely and predictably alongside people in our homes and our workplaces. His research focuses on advanced perception algorithms that endow robots with a rich awareness of their surroundings and the ability to interact safely and naturally with humans in unstructured environments. He is interested in algorithms that take as input multi-modal observations of a robot's surround (e.g., laser range data, image streams, and speech) and infer properties of the objects, places, people, and events that comprise a robot's environment, at a level of abstraction necessary to realize command and control mechanisms that are both intuitive and safe.
