Planning under Uncertainty to Goal Distributions
New formalization of goals as distributions for robot planning under uncertainty.
Adam Conkey
Roboticist - Python Developer - Rust Enthusiast
I am a Senior Software Engineer at Berkshire Grey. I’m passionate about robotics software development, particularly open source software for ROS and Linux. I’m excited about Rust - in my spare time, I am tinkering with implementing computational geometry algorithms from scratch in Rust.
I received my Ph.D. in Computing and Robotics from the University of Utah under the supervision of Dr. Tucker Hermans as a member of the Utah Learning Lab for Manipulation Autonomy. My dissertation work investigated skill planning under state and goal uncertainty for robot manipulations tasks.
