research on systems integration, human-robot interaction, mapping and robot vision.
He has published more than 250 contributions across AI, robotics and vision. His research
has a strong emphasis on "real problems with real solutions". As such a problem needs
a theoretical basis, implementation and evaluation, and translation to the real world. He
is actively engaged in the setup and coordination of robotics research in the US (and
worldwide). Dr. Christensen received the Engelberger Award 2011, the higest honor awarded
by the robotics industry. He collaborates with institutions and industries across three
