Research Interests

I am interested in improving the performance and reliability of off-road mobile robots. I research the system aspects of creating a high mobility autonomous vehicle, especially the perception, planning, and control software. In this work, I hope to advance the state of the art in off-road motion planning and system integration to make autonomous navigation in unknown terrain feasible for vehicles with limited computation features and stringent power requirements. Among various applications of this research, I am very interested in planetary exploration.
