PYI: Motion Planning

该总统青年研究员奖表彰了Canny博士作为计算机视觉和机器人研究人员和教育家的杰出生产力和潜力。在读研究生期间，他在机器人运动规划的边缘检测和避碰方面发表了有影响力的论文，用新技术解决了长期存在的问题。后一项工作获得了1987年ACM博士论文奖。Canny博士继续他在机器人运动规划和计算代数和几何方面的出色工作，包括在柔性运动规划和抓取规划方面的研究。他还指导四名博士生，并教授机器人和计算数学的研究生课程。

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.
