  • Comment: You have to prove both his notability and all statements. For instance, we don't want a reference to Yale, we need proof that he had the academic position. The same elsewhere; for instance no proof that he was a founding editor. Please also pay careful attention to WP:NACADEMIC and avoid WP:PUFF. Rewritten cleanly he might make it.

Vladimir J. Lumelsky
Academic career


Vladimir J. Lumelsky

Vladimir Lumelsky is a Russian-American scientist and engineer in the fields of robotics, machine intelligence, and computer science. His research has had a significant impact in the areas of Robotics, Sensing, and Artificial Intelligence, as demonstrated by his election as the Founding Editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Sensors Journal.[1], his having been elected President of IEEE Sensors Council [2], receiving the IEEE Sensors Council Lifetime Contribution Award [3], and being awarded the rank of the IEEE Life Fellow [4]. He has been twice elected as IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, for the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and IEEE Sensors Council [5]. He is currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison [6] and Senior Books Editor at the Wiley-IEEE Press Publisher [7]

Background

[edit]

Lumelsky was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, in the former USSR. He received his master’s degree in computer science in 1962 from the Leningrad Institute of Precision Mechanics and Optics (presently ITMO University[8], St. Petersburg, Russia), and his Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics in 1971 from the Institute of Control Sciences (ICS) of the Russian National Academy of Sciences, Moscow [9]. He then stayed at ICS as a junior and later senior researcher till his emigration to the United States in 1975, where his professional career has spanned research in large industrial research centers, university professorships, and government research and administration.

In the United States Lumelsky first worked as a researcher in Ford Motor Co. Scientific Laboratories[10], 1976-1980, and a senior researcher at the General Electric Corporate Research Center[11], 1981-1985. Having moved then to academia, he held positions of Associate Professor at Yale University [12], 1985-1990, Chaired Consolidated Papers Foundation Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison [13], 1991-2003 (with joint professorships at electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and mathematics departments), and later on (in conjunction with his full-time position at NASA[14]) Adjunct Professor at the University of Maryland-College Park[15], 2004-2013.

In 1999-2001 he held a concurrent rotator position (as part of the US government Intergovernmental Personnel Act, IPA, operation) of Program Director at the National Science Foundation (NSF), leading NSF’s national robotics program. As part of this assignment he spent the summer term of 2000-2001 at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. In 2003 he retired from academia and spent the next ten years as a full-time researcher at the NASA Goddard Space Center[16], leading the laboratory of space robotics that focused on Mars exploration.

Lumelsky has served as a visiting professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, and the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. He was the founding editor-in-chief of the IEEE Sensors Journal, 2001-2003, senior editor of the IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, and President of the IEEE Sensors Council, 2012-2013,[1] which represents 25 societies of IEEE. As a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE, he has lectured extensively in the world's most prestigious universities and research centers of Europe, Asia, and South and North America. In 1994 he was awarded the highly prestigious rank of Fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), later becoming an IEEE Life Fellow[17] “For contributions to the field of robotics and automation, particularly development of the theory of sensor-based motion planning in an uncertain environment”). He is listed in Marquis’s Who is Who[18]. Professor Lumelsky received the IEEE Sensors Council Meritorious Service Award[19]," for contributions to the establishment and development of the IEEE Sensors Journal as its Founding Editor-in-Chief.

Research

[edit]

Lumelsky’s research has focused on robotics, machine intelligence, and automatic control. His theory of sensor-based motion planning (SBMP) has introduced a new type of artificial intelligence for robots based on topological properties of space. Using those principles, his team has experimentally demonstrated that a robot can guarantee reaching its target location or concluding the target’s unreachability in a completely unknown and highly crowded environment. When generalized to three-dimensional arm manipulators, those same principles lead to motion planning strategies for operating in a highly uncertain environment way beyond human capabilities. These strategies also produce an intelligent response by the robot to the motion of a human partner without any prior robot motion programming[20], and allow highly complex real-time human-robot interaction and teleoperation[21]. These and related principles have been presented in over 250 publications, and summarized in his book, "Sensing, Intelligence, Motion: How Robots and Humans Move in an Unstructured World", John Wiley & Sons, 2006.

Personal life

[edit]

Lumelsky is married to biologist Dr. Nadya Lumelsky, who has spent most of her career as a researcher and a branch chief at the National Institutes of Health. He has two children - Anna Lumelsky, a graduate of Harvard Law School, presently the Deputy State Solicitor of Massachusetts, and son Michael Lumelsky, a graduate of New York University.
