Math, Machines, and Metacognition
The Stanford Intelligent Systems Lab (SISL) conducts research on decisions under uncertainty and optimization problems with applications to autonomous vehicles.
Counting Steps with Smartphone Sensors
In this student project, students are given a research experience designed to closely mimic those in academia or industry. Their research task is to use smartphone sensors to develop the core algorithm for an accurate, reliable pedometer app which counts a user’s steps.
