Todd has been with CrossRate from the beginning. Todd works part-time on software development issues. Prior to CrossRate Todd worked for Mathworks on Matlab development. Prior to this he worked at Honda Research and Development Americas where he developed novel computer vision technologies that allowed a humanoid robot to interact with users by recognizing and reacting to gestures. As a researcher at MIT he developed and implemented theoretical models for more accurate foreground object detection and tracking over a wide array of scenes and conditions. He also worked with children to design exploration programs for linguistics research. Mr. Atkins received both his Master of Engineering and undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
