DESCRIPTION:Matthew Walter\, MIT\nMatthew Walter is a research scientist i
 n the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at M
 IT. He is working in collaboration with Seth Teller as well as Emilio Fraz
 zoli and Nick Roy\, among others.\nRobots will inspire human trust only if
  they prove able to work safely and predictably alongside people in our ho
 mes and our workplaces. His research focuses on advanced perception algori
 thms that endow robots with a rich awareness of their surroundings and the
  ability to interact safely and naturally with humans in unstructured envi
 ronments. He is interested in algorithms that take as input multi-modal ob
 servations 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 nec
 essary to realize command and control mechanisms that are both intuitive a
 nd safe.
