  • Ben Adida works on the Rethinking CS101 project and 6.096, fall 1996.
  • Jen Alexander spent the summer of 1995 at MIT through the CRA/NSF Distributed Mentor Project. She built a system to do Sound Localization in a Meeting Room during the summer of 1995.
  • Mark Asdoorian works on Haystack.
  • Joshua Reuben Brown helped develop 6.80s and 6.096 for the Rethinking CS101 project in the summer of 1996.
  • Dwaine Clarke works on Haystack.
  • Michael Coen (Sc.M. 1994) works on Sodabot, a software agent environment and construction system. (Click here for an extended abstract.)
  • Sal Desiano resurrected TJ and wrote a new parser for Natural Communication with Robots (part of the Cognitive Robotics project) in the summer of 1996.
  • Matthew Domsch (Sc.B. 1994) TA'd the first AAAI Robot Building Lab at the 1993 National Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Washington, DC. He also wrote the 6.270 Organizer's Manual. For more information on 6.270, the student-run MIT robotics course taught each January, see the 6.270 home page.
  • Matt Eldredge supported some of our robots.
  • Ian Horswill (Ph.D. 1993) built Polly, a robot that gives tours of the AI Lab. His thesis, Specialization of Perceptual Processes was nominated for the ACM Distinguished Dissertation Award and won the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science's Sprowls Award.
  • Mike Evans worked on TJ in the spring of 1996.
  • Heji Kim spent the summer of 1995 at MIT through the CRA/NSF Distributed Mentor Project. She worked on Motion Based Multi-person Tracking.
  • Joshua Kramer works on SodaBot.
  • Carol Y. Lee TA'd the first AAAI Robot Building Lab at the 1993 National Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Washington, DC.
  • Lili Liu works on Haystack.
  • Antonio Mercado Jr. (Sc.M. 1988, Brown University) implemented Hybrid, an object-oriented language that merges delegation and inheritance.
  • Salil Pitroda did his Advanced Undergraduate Project (AUP) on RobotWorld for the Rethinking CS101 project in the spring of 1996.
  • Eric Prebys works on Haystack and the on-line bibliography project.
  • Lydia Sandon works on the Rethinking CS101 project and 6.096, fall 1996.
  • Brian Scassellati (M.Eng 1995) deduced High-level Perceptual Contours from a Variety of Low-level Physical Features (Morris Joseph Levin Memorial Award for Best Master Works Oral Thesis Presentation). He intends his work to be part of the visual system for Cog.
  • Emil Sit works on the Rethinking CS101 project, including 6.80s (summer 1996), and 6.096 (fall 1996).
  • Ellen Spertus works on information access and the world-wide web.

  • Tim Tang supported the SensorBots.
  • Mark Torrance (Sc.M. 1994) taught T.J. to communicate (more) naturally: "Natural Communication with Robots" (933K). He did a tour of duty with Cog before settling in to work on the Intelligent Room and Active Notebook.
  • Karsten Ulland TA'd the first AAAI Robot Building Lab at the 1993 National Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Washington, DC and the MIT Robot Building Collaborative in the Fall of '94.
  • Chuck Van Buren works on Haystack.
  • Mike Wessler (Sc.M. 1995) built A Modular Visual Tracking System. (Click here for a less formal description.) He is now exploring motor control....
