Amitabha Mukerjee

Associate Professor

I work in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Aided Design, and Robotics. My main interest is in Spatial Reasoning , but I am also interested in building real systems, such as soccer playing robots and Virtual Reality games.

   • Survey Paper on Spatial Reasoning: This draft paper looks at spatial reasoning from the AI perspective, where there appears to be an increasing shift to less precisely discretized models. A revised version can be found in Computational Representation and Processing of Spatial Expressions Patrick Olivier and Klaus-Peter Gapp (Editors), Kluwer Academic Press 1998.
