Dr. Nicholas R. Gans

 

I am an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas.

My research interests are in controls in robotics.  I have a focus on vision-based estimation and control for robots and autonomous vehicles.  Naturally, my research includes computer vision and nonlinear control.  I am also interested in active and adaptive sensor placement, such as robots that can guide sensors to locations to find the most valuable signals.

 I was interviewed on the Dallas radio show Think with Krys Boyd, on November 14, 2011.
You can listen to it here.

I gave this talk as the keynote session at the 2011 International Symposium of the Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa in Vaal, South Africa. Select "View Full-Size Presentation" to see the videos on YouTube.
 
I gave this talk at as part of the "Technology on Tap" Lecture Series at Trinity Hall Irish Pub in June 2011. It starts with a general discussion on robotics, then discusses some new work by my lab group.


This is a slightly dated presentation of my research, including videos
