Research-Related Activities
During the Summer of 2008 I have been working on "Workers of the World" under Professor Josephine Anstey, which is a guerilla-style performance for autonomous cleaning robots. I have contributed the high-level "cognitive" functioning of each robot and communication between robots as apart of the speaking parts for the plays they are performing.
On 2/8/08 at SNeRG I presented on Emotion Theories. This is apart of the literature review necessary for beginning my research on computational models of emotion.
During the Spring 2008 Semester I worked as a research assistant under Dr. Shapiro on a DoD grant, primarily dealing with benchmarking and optimization of SnePS 2.7.0.
During the Fall 2007 Semester I worked on a project for CSE663 Advanced Knowledge Representation and Reasoning for a SNePS Agent for the QPR Suicide Prevention Method. A sample interaction is available here.
