Closing the GAP between intelligent robots and the present state of the art:
  • How could robots learn and store previous experiences in an efficient way to be retrieved when necessary?
  • Could robots learn in real time and perform intelligent actions based on learnt previous experiences? 
  • Should robots be only pre-programmed autonomous machines capable of performing simple tasks?
    • In the present robots have the capability to do many tasks autonomously; however, it is still not clear whether they will be "intelligent entities".  
    • In the meantime I am doing research to increase autonomous capabilities of robots and close the GAP between autonomous and intelligent systems.
  • My approach is to build reliable robotic systems that perform tasks in real situations based on extensive experimentation.
  • I have interest in robots operating in real dynamic indoor and outdoor environments.   Guess robots have to take the sun as well (^^) !
