David (dæˈvid) is:
A computer scientist and robotics/AI researcher from the Caribbean.
Seeking research-related positions in academia or industry!
A bit about me:
My research intersects robotics and AI; I want to work on algorithms for intelligent robots for meaningful purposes - in particular, service / domestic robotics.
I am keenly interested in how knowledge can be conveyed to robots and how high-level knowledge and reasoning capabilities of robots are connected to the way robots view and understand the world - through sensors, vision systems, or haptics.
