- | * **Perception and sensor fusion**, that is, the problem of extracting meaningful information from one or more sensors, and how to fuse together information from several sources, taking into account their associated uncertainty. We take a probabilistic approach on quantitatively representing uncertainty, as well as performing inference, on the solid theoretical framework provided by Bayesian statistics | + | |
- | * **Decision making under uncertainty**, since both perception and action affects on the real world are inherently uncertain, we take a decision-theoretic approach on the maximization of the expected utility | + | [{{ :meeting.jpg?direct&300|Meeting in ISR-IST}}] |
