IM^2 Lab
Our mission is to create intelligent mobile-manipulation robots that efficiently perform manipulation tasks in diverse and unstructured environments. We are inspired by the enormous difficulties that arise in dealing with large numbers of potentially unknown objects and robot's limited knowledge and sensing capabilities. To realize this mission, we conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of task and motion planning, computer vision, and machine learning.
