This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, CFDA 47.070, supports a research project titled "CAREER: ACTIVE SCENE UNDERSTANDING BY AND FOR ROBOT MANIPULATION" at Stanford University. The $130,000 grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, aims to develop a self-improving robot perception system that leverages manipulation skills for active scene understanding. The key focus is on enabling robots to dynamically decide what to perceive and how to perceive it, rather than being limited to detecting pre-defined object categories. The research seeks to improve fundamental robot capabilities in perception and planning, with potential applications in domains such as service robotics and field exploration. The integrated research and education activities will utilize a cloud-enabled robot learning platform to enable student participation. No sub-awards are planned for this project, which is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2027.
