Jesse Thomason is an Assistant Professor at USC leading the GLAMOR (Grounding Language in Actions, Multimodal Observations, And Robots) Lab. His research area brings together natural language processing and robotics to connect language to the world (RoboNLP), and centers around three efforts to bring language skills to robot and embodied simulation agents: connecting language to agent perception, including visual, tactile, and auditory senses, connecting language to agent actions by inferring goals from language, and lifelong learning through dialog with people.
