معرفی
Susan Fox serves as the DeWitt Wallace Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at Macalester College. Her office is located in Olin-Rice Science Center, Room 223, with contact details including phone (651-696-6553) and email (fox@macalester.edu).
Her educational background includes:
- AB in Computer Science from Oberlin College (1990)
- MS in Computer Science from Indiana University (1993)
- PhD in Computer Science with minor in Cognitive Science from Indiana University (1995)
Professor Fox's research centers on adaptive robotic systems that learn behaviors through machine learning techniques. She specializes in applying deep learning for computer vision to solve fundamental robot tasks including indoor navigation and localization. Her work bridges theoretical AI concepts with practical robotic implementations using platforms like Turtlebots.
She actively integrates undergraduate students into her research process, involving them in writing and testing all components of robot control systems. This hands-on approach provides students with direct experience in robotics development.
Her Robotics Research Lab focuses on core challenges in autonomous systems, specifically indoor navigation, environmental localization, computer vision processing, and machine learning integration for real-time robotic decision-making.
