DESCRIPTION:Prof Howard Li\, University of New Brunswick\, Fredericton\, N
 B\, Canada\nUnmanned vehicles and robots usually are related to situations
  involving hazardous environments\, repetitive and menial tasks. Unmanned 
 vehicles can be used in many areas\, such as surveillance\, mine hunting\,
  automatic inspection\, disposal of hazardous materials\, natural resource
  management\, and ocean exploration. In this talk\, we will present our cu
 rrent research in unmanned vehicles and robotics. We will present the sens
 ing\, perception\, navigation\, mapping\, and localization methods for aut
 onomous robots (air\, ground\, and underwater). Probabilistic robotics alg
 orithms will be introduced. Simulation and experimental results will be pr
 esented.\nBio: Howard Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of El
 ectrical and Computer Engineering\, University of New Brunswick\, Canada. 
 He is a registered professional engineer in the Province of Ontario\, Cana
 da. He is a senior member of IEEE. He received the Ph.D. degree from the U
 niversity of Waterloo\, Canada. He worked with Atlantis Systems Internatio
 nal\, Defence Research and Development Canada\, and Applied AI Systems Inc
 . to develop unmanned ground vehicles\, unmanned aerial vehicles\, autonom
 ous underwater vehicles and other robotic systems for both domestic and mi
 litary applications. His research interests include robotics\, unmanned ve
 hicles\, sensor fusion\, state estimation\, algorithms\, control theory\, 
 mechatronics\, multi-agent systems\, artificial intelligence\, motion plan
 ning\, and simultaneous localization and mapping.
