Job description

About the Research

This research develops knowledge representation and reasoning methods that enable robots to understand their environment in semantic terms, where “semantics” may apply to space, time, causality, commonsense knowledge, communication with humans, etc. The focus is on robots in the Army domain; of particular interest is the possibility of adapting existing information and knowledge resources (e.g., representation languages, reasoners, existing ontologies and knowledge bases) to Army needs.

Research Opportunities

• Ontologies for autonomous robots
• Efficient reasoning algorithms
• Knowledge acquisition from existing data sources
• High-level reasoning under uncertainty
• Qualitative reasoning for robots
• Commonsense reasoning for robots
• Experimentation and validation methods in robotics
