Current Developments in NSF Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, and Information-Technology-Based Robotics

Abstract: In this talk, I will briefly describe current developments in the NSF Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). Then I will briefly discuss my current research activities in distributed mobile robots and skill learning for humanoid robots. These research activities are part of my independent research development while serving at the National Science Foundation. Due to the time constraint, I may focus my research talk more on my current humanoid robot research activities.

Biography: Dr. C. S. George Lee is Program Director for Robotics Program, Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS), Directorate of CISE. His current responsibility includes managing all the robotics proposals submitted to the IIS division and collaborating with other Program Officers in Foundation-wise and CISE-wide robotics activities.

Before joining the NSF, Dr Lee is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, U.S.A. An IEEE Fellow since 1993, Professor Lee’s research has been focusing on robotics and neuro-fuzzy systems, and more recently on humanoid robots and mobile robots. Professor Lee has authored or co-authored over 150 publications in these areas, in addition to two graduate textbooks, Robotics (McGraw-Hill, 1986) and Neural Fuzzy Systems (Prentice-Hall, 1996), and 20 book chapters.
