Dr. Regis Vincent:
Dr. Vincent is currently leading the Software Commercialization team at SRI International. He is an experienced researcher and engineer and has produced commercial-grade software systems. His recent project includes building the first commercial robotic solution for mapping and localization. The Karto mapping system works on over 20 different robots and is compatible with all laser range finders. The Karto system grew out of the Centibots that Dr. Vincent was co-leading. At the time, the Centibots project was the largest deployment of robot in the world. Since joining SRI, Dr. Vincent has been working on monitoring and adaptation for physical systems, and on the Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle project. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the collaboration and adaptation of a team of UCAVs and UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) to achieve tactical missions. Dr. Vincent received his Ph.D. from the University of Nice, France in 1997. His research interests are real-time artificial intelligence, from scheduling, planning to negotiation. He has published over 30 papers in peer-reviewed conferences and journals. He has also co-edited a book on multi-agent coordination “Coordination of Large-Scale Multiagent Systems” published by Springer.
