Robin R. Murphy Robin R. Murphy
Raytheon Professor
Homepage | Profile

I am a founder of the field of rescue robotics; my personal goal is to enable emergency responders to routinely save lives through physically situated artificial intelligence (robots, sensor networks, etc.). This has led to a research career based on three principles: basic research should be informed by field experiences and working with users, meaningful solutions require teams of multi-disciplinary researchers addressing solutions within the ecology of the domain, and industry-agency-university linkages must be established in order to accelerate the diffusion of innovation.
