PYI: Motion Planning

这一总统青年研究员奖表彰了坎尼博士作为计算机视觉和机器人领域的研究人员和教育工作者的杰出生产力和潜力。当他还是一名研究生时，他在边缘检测和机器人运动规划的碰撞避免方面发表了有影响力的工作，通过新技术解决了长期存在的问题。后者的工作在1987年获得了ACM博士论文奖。坎尼博士正在继续他在机器人运动规划、计算代数和几何方面的出色工作，包括顺应运动规划和抓取规划的研究。他还指导了四名博士生，并教授机器人和计算数学方面的研究生课程。

This Presidential Young Investigator award recognizes the outstanding productivity and potential of Dr. Canny as a researcher and educator in computer vision and robotics. While a graduate student, he published influential work in edge detection and in collision avoidance for robot motion planning, solving long-standing problems by new techniques. The latter work was recognized with an ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award for 1987. Dr. Canny is continuing his excellent work in robot motion planning and computational algebra and geometry, including research in compliant motion planning and grasp planning. He is also supervising four Ph.D. students and teaching graduate courses in robotics and computational mathematics.
