Shihab Shamma
Professor

The research into adaptive and attentional control of sensory processing in auditory cortex attempts to elucidate the auditory neural mechanisms involved in the executive control that optimizes processing of acoustic signals according to task demands, attentional state, or behavioral context. Experimental findings have implications for the understanding of mechanisms underlying a wide range of cognitive functions including learning and memory.
In the applications of neural processing for speech and complex acoustic scenes research, computational algorithms inspired by auditory cortical processing are being applied in varied tasks such as speech detection, enhancement, and recognition, as well as speaker identification, music analysis, and the segregation of mixtures from multiple speakers.

Current capabilities and efforts in the Intelligent Servosystems Laboratory revolve around nonlinear problems in control and robotics.
We investigate the theory and do experiments on boundary-following for mobile robots, to accomplish navigation and collision-avoidance tasks. We use a robot equipped with a SICK laser range-finder, and supported by a multi-agent distributed robot control infrastructure (DCF/MDLe), and Cricket indoor global positioning system.
We explore implementation of a distributed control framework (DCF) together with a motion description language (MDLe) for robotics.
A new project in bipedal robot locomotion is focused on implementing a robust walking control system in a dSPACE environment, connected to a table-top commercial research walking robot.
Control implementation for an existing hovercraft platform is being restructured to use an on-board embedded processor running fixed-point arithmetic.
