Researcher

Jeffrey Ichnowski

Jeffrey Ichnowski researches robotic manipulation and planning. His shared work includes cable untangling, transparent-object grasping and computing platforms for robots. Ichnowski co-authored the RSS 2022 paper Autonomously Untangling Long Cables. The robot system combines perception and physical actions to untangle cables. Ichnowski co-authored Evo-NeRF, a joint CoRL 2022 study of evolving neural radiance fields for sequential robot grasping of transparent objects. Ichnowski co-authored the ICRA 2023 FogROS2 paper on an adaptive cloud-and-fog robotics platform using ROS 2.
