About
Colin Keil is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the critical gap between remote telepresence and autonomous manipulation. His primary research areas span teleoperated humanoid avatars, robust simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and robotic grasp pose detection. Keil’s most impactful contribution is his work on the Avatar XPRIZE competition, where he co-authored the seminal paper “Towards Robot Avatars,” which has garnered 20 citations for its systems-level approach to eliminating the sense of distance in remote interactions. He further advanced the field of autonomous navigation with his multi-modal, multi-floor SLAM dataset, a key resource that has earned 9 citations for addressing the real-world challenges of indoor deployment. In manipulation, Keil developed an efficient method for generating grasp poses in SE(3) space, achieving 7 citations for its ability to predict stable grasps on novel objects without the computational overhead of traditional approaches. His work is distinguished by its practical focus on system integration and benchmarking, making him a rising figure in the effort to deploy reliable, interactive robots in unstructured human environments.
