Biography

Dr. Seto worked in private industry (ISE Research Ltd., Pt. Coquitlam, Canada) for six years on research and development projects related to autonomous underwater vehicles. Then, Dr. Seto moved to Nova Scotia to work as a defence scientist for Defence R&D Canada. She joined the H漫画 Department of Mechanical Engineering as an Associate Professor in 2017. Dr. Seto is registered in Nova Scotia as a Professional Engineer (PEng).

Research interests

The Intelligent Systems Laboratory is multi-disciplinary and works at the intersection of engineering (electrical, mechanical) and computer science to enable autonomous systems to operate at long ranges from an operator for extended durations in harsh and dynamic environments like oceans and space.聽 This is achieved by聽developing and using聽tools that include adaptive deliberation, machine learning, decision-making, optimization, autonomous mission-planning, etc.聽聽

Areas of research include but are not limited to:

• autonomy聽for robotic systems in harsh and difficult environments
• localization and mapping
• 尘耻濒迟颈-谤辞产辞迟听肠辞濒濒补产辞谤补迟颈辞苍
• fault tolerance
• autonomous agents for autonomous vehicles
• embedded programming聽
• vehicle dynamics and control
• above and below water acoustics

The applications and partners are military, scientific and commercial
