Research

My research focuses on robot planning and control, operating at the intersection of the symbolic and continuous domains. I am especially interested in automating robot programming by developing techniques that are mathematically verifiable, physically applicable, and easy to use.

Labs & Research Centers

Dynamic Automata Lab

The Dynamic Automata Lab conducts research in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Systems. Our goal is to create robots that autonomously perform complex tasks, adapt to new environments, and are easy to program. This work integrates symbolic reasoning, computational geometry, and theoretical computer science. We are located within the Computer Science Department at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO.

We are currently recruiting students for research. Please contact Prof. Neil Dantam if you are interested!
