Computer science and engineering professor Maria Gini is researching artificial intelligence and robotics. The goal is to develop robots that work together to accomplish tasks, despite unexpected changes in the environment or sensor failures. Specific examples of these tasks include exploration, mapping of indoor/outdoor environments, and navigation.
