Current focus

  • Terrain-aware navigation for unmanned ground vehicles.
  • 2.5D elevation mapping and traversability estimation.
  • Robotic perception using RGB-D, LiDAR and RGB-T sensors.
  • MPPI-based local control and learning-based guidance.
  • Real-world deployment with ROS 2, Docker and embedded GPU platforms.

Highlight

IROS 2026

I have an accepted paper at IROS 2026. A dedicated page with the final title, short summary, authors, links and public material will be added once the official version becomes available.
