Dr. Yu Xiang leads the Intelligent Robotics and Vision Lab (IRVL) in the department of computer science in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas.
The lab focuses on fundamental research in intelligent robotics and computer vision, and Dr. Xiang considers the scientific question: How can robots conduct tasks autonomously in the physical world to assist humans? For example, he is interested in building robots that can cook a meal or clean a kitchen table for people.
