Perception, Robotics, AI and Sensing Lab
Welcome to Perception, Robotics, AI and Sensing (PRAISe) Lab, led by Prof. Chahat Deep Singh.
We work at the intersection of perception, robotics, artificial intelligence, and computational imaging to push the boundaries of robot autonomy. Our Minimal Perception framework focuses on developing small, intelligent, and efficient robot-navigation systems through active and bio-inspired perception, novel sensing, and onboard computation.
Prospective students can review the lab's current opportunities on the Open Positions page.
