I'm the Director of the
Machine Intelligence Laboratory
(MIL).
I'm a Faculty Member of the Center for Intelligent Machines and Robotics
(CIMAR).
I'm the Faculty Advisor for the
NaviGator AMS (Autonomous Maritime System) team, a first time entrant int the 2016 Maritime RobotX Challenge. We won world championship in December 2016!
I'm the Faculty Advisor for the three-time world champion autonomous submarine,
SubjuGator, winner of each of the
2005, 2006 and 2007
AUVSI Foundation and ONR's 8th, 9th and 10th
International RoboSub Competition .
We came in second place in 2012, 2013, and 2014. We have earned 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in 11 of the 23 years of this international competition.
I'm am the past and founding Faculty Advisor for
the NASA Lunabotics/NASABotics Robot Teams (at UF),
2011-2014.
I'm a member of the UF's
Team Gator Nation, a semifinalist in the
2007 DARPA Urban Challenge autonomous vehicle
competition with our vehicle, the Urban NaviGator
.
Recent Awards:
Awarded the “University of Florida IEEE and HKN 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year”
Awarded the “2011 Student Involvement Award for Advisor of the Year” for my work with IEEE and other students at UF. This is one of a number of student-selected awards called a Chompy which are meant to “recognize individuals for their tremendous contributions to the University of Florida and the Gainesville community.”
2010-2011 IEEE Southeast Region Outstanding Branch Counselor. This award “Recognizes the outstanding Branch Counselor or Chapter Advisor for contributions to the success of their IEEE Student Branch or Chapter.”
