After obtaining a Ph.D. in computer science from U.C. Berkeley,
Seth Teller joined MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science, and Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory in 1994.  There, he heads the Robotics,
Vision and Sensor Networks group, where his research focuses on
developing machines that work closely alongside people.

Recent projects from Teller's lab include: body-worn devices that
build maps and provide information about the wearer's surroundings;
a self-driving car; an unmanned, outdoor forklift commanded through
speech; a voice-commandable robotic wheelchair; and a system
intended to protect police personnel from roadside collisions.
Teller's lab also develops a variety of assistive technologies for
people living with blindness, paralysis and other disabilities.
