Opportunities for Students
If you are a prospective grad student interested in joining
the lab, you MUST first get accepted by the University of Missouri and by one of the departments with which I
am associated (i.e. ECE or CS).
For information on how to apply to our MSc. or PhD programs, please, check the
University GradSchool and its
Admission Website.
If you are already a
grad student in our department and need
information on what classes to take, here is a suggestion for a
plan of study
in Robotic Vision. If you are interested in Robotic Control,
this plan of study on Visual Servoing may be more adequate. Other information about our
graduate program and the requirements for a MSc. or PhD can be found
here.
If you are an undergrad looking for tracks, check
theses options.
