Kurt
Konolige is a Consulting Professor Computer Science Department at
Stanford University and Senior Researcher at Willow Garage.
Dr. Konolige received his PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1984; his thesis, "A Deduction Model of Belief and its Logics," develops a model of belief based on the resource-bounded inferential capabilities of agents. His research interests are broadly based on issues of commonsense reasoning, including introspective reasoning, defeasible reasoning, and reasoning about cognitive state, especially in the context of multiagent systems. Konolige co-developed the Pioneer and AmigoBot robot line and the Saphira robot control architecture.
More recently, he has conducted research in fuzzy control for reactive systems; in constraint-based planning and inference systems; in reasoning about perceptual information; and in realtime robotics and vision systems. Before joining Willow Garage he was a Senior Computer Scientist at the Artificial Intelligence Center of SRI International.
