My research interest is in end-to-end robotic systems tailored for complex outdoor environments, synthesizing cutting-edge research across various branches of robotics to address real-world challenges. This often leads to proof-of-concept robotic systems that demonstrate novel concepts to do things that have never been done before. My particular interest is in agriculture, where I’m fascinated not only by the complexity and challenges it presents to robotics, but also the societal benefit it offers through technological advancements. My focus lies in full-autonomy stack, pioneering novel sensing methodologies, modular robot design principles, and the creation of low-cost, rugged systems customized to specific application needs.
