Joydeep B is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin. He serves as the Director of the Autonomous Mobile Robotics Laboratory and is affiliated with the UT Machine Learning Laboratory and UT Good Systems. Joydeep's research focuses on robot perception, motion planning, control systems, and artificial intelligence, with a strong emphasis on deployed robot systems. His ultimate goal is to develop self-sufficient autonomous mobile robots that can work in human environments, performing tasks accurately and robustly. To support this goal, he is particularly interested in research related to perception, planning, and control as applied to autonomous mobile robots. This includes developing models and representations of the dynamic world and algorithms for inference based on these models. His planning research encompasses motion planning, multi-robot coordination, and task-based planning for service mobile robots and applications such as robot soccer. Joydeep is eager to work with self-motivated students at all levels (PhD, MS, undergraduate) who have overlapping interests, particularly those interested in working with actual robots deployed in real-world scenarios.
