Matthew Robinson, PhD
Member of Technical Staff
(Short description>>)
Matthew L. Robinson is currently the 2007 Phoenix Lander Flight Software Lead for the Robotic Arm. His on-going research efforts have included the development of calibration-free, stereo-based manipulation techniques (HIPS) and general control systems for holonomic and hybrid nonholonomic/holonomic systems. Other research interests include machine vision, manipulation, mechatronic systems and controls. He is a member of the engineering staff in the Mobility and Manipulation Group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he has been since 2001.
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Notre Dame, 2001
B.S in Mechanical Engineering, University of Notre Dame, 1996
