Camillo J. Taylor is the Raymond S. Markowitz President’s Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where he has been a faculty member since 1997. He also serves as Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the School of Engineering and Applied Science. His research focuses on Computer Vision and Robotics, particularly in 3D reconstruction, semantic mapping, and autonomous navigation.
Education:
- A.B. in Electrical Computer and Systems Engineering, Harvard College (1988)
- M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science, Yale University (1990, 1994)
Research Interests:Dr. Taylor’s work bridges Computer Vision and Robotics to enable autonomous systems to perceive and navigate complex environments. Key themes include semantic SLAM, event camera applications, and meta-learning for adaptive controllers. His projects often integrate vision, physics, and multi-agent collaboration, as seen in systems like EvMAPPER and OCCAM.
Recent Article Trends: His 2024–2025 publications focus on semantic mapping, event-based vision, and multi-agent LLM systems, reflecting his lab’s emphasis on real-time perception, physics-informed reconstruction, and rational decision-making in robotics. These works span applications from solar eclipse imaging to wildfire analysis and natural hazard resilience.
Awards:
- NSF CAREER Award (1998)
- Lindback Minority Junior Faculty Award (2001)
- IEEE WACV Best Paper Award (2012)
- Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award (2012)
Advising and Service:Dr. Taylor has advised numerous PhD students, including Jason Hughes and Bowen Jiang. He has served as a Program Chair for CVPR (2006, 2017) and General Chair for ICCV (2021). His contributions to the GRASP Laboratory have advanced autonomous micro-UAVs and semantic SLAM.
