BIOGRAPHIES
Martin Adams is an associate professor in the School of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
He obtained his first degree in engineering science at the University of Oxford,
U.K. in 1988 and continued to study for a D.Phil. at the Robotics Research
Group, University of Oxford, which he received in 1992. He continued his
research in autonomous robot navigation as a project leader and part time
lecturer at the Institute of Robotics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
(ETH), Zurich, Switzerland. He was employed as a guest professor and taught
control theory in St. Gallen (Switzerland) from 1994 to 1995. From 1996 to
2000, he served as a senior research scientist in robotics and control, in the
field of semiconductor assembly automation, at the European Semiconductor
Equipment Centre (ESEC), Switzerland.
He is currently the principal investigator of two robotics projects at NTU,
both of which involve sensor data interpretation for SLAM and other mobile
robot applications. His other research interests include active LADAR design,
range data processing and data fusion with inertial navigation systems and other
aiding devices.
Ebi Jose is a Ph.D. student at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engin-
eering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He obtained
his B.Tech. degree in instrumentation from Cochin University of Science
and Technology, Kerala, India in 2002. During his degree he worked in the
