Eric Beowulf Martinson

Eric Martinson, Ph.D.
I completed the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology in December 2007 with an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Since then, I have completed several post-doctoral type positions, starting first in Ukraine with a US State Department sponsored Fulbright Fellowship, and ending up most recently in Washington, DC.
 
Research Interests: Autonomous Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Perception, Signal-Processing
*****NEW*****
I recently completed a movie of Multi-Modal Person Identification on the humanoid robot, Octavia. This is the product of a collaborative work with others at the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence(Lawson, Martinson, Apker, Walker, Bradel, & Trafton, 2011).
 
Title: ROBOT-Busters – Testing the Limits of Multimodal Biometrics
Abstract: The humanoid robot, Octavia, shows off her multimodal person identification skills in this short spin off on a popular TV series.
