Additional information

Paul E. Rybski is a Systems Scientist in The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. in computer science and engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2003 and 2001, respectively. He received an interdisciplinary B.A. in mathematics/computer science from Lawrence University in 1995. His research interests include distributed sensing and state estimation algorithms for teams of mobile robots, robust high-level environment modeling for sensor-impoverished robotic systems, and recognition of agent (human or robot) activities through observation.

William D. Smart is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, where he co-directs the Media and Machines Laboratory. His research interests span the areas of mobile robotics, human-robot interaction, and machine learning. He is particularly interested in automatically learning effective control strategies for real robots using reinforcement learning, autonomic robot software architectures, and in designing effective human-robot interfaces for the general public.
