Biography
I am an Associate Professor at the Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing, where I lead the GLAMOR ✨ (Grounding Language in Actions, Multimodal Observations, And Robots) Lab. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science at USC>Research Summary
My research area brings together natural language processing and robotics to connect language to the world (RoboNLP), and centers around three efforts to bring language skills to robot and embodied simulation agents: connecting language to agent perception, including visual, tactile, and auditory senses, connecting language to agent actions by inferring goals from language, and lifelong learning through dialog with people.
