I am a PhD student in the Robotics department at the University of Michigan. I am a member of ROAHM Lab supervised by Prof. Ram Vasudevan. I hold a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University and a Masters degree in Robotics, Systems and Control from ETH Zurich.
This paper proposes a Bayesian inference framework for real-time semantic mapping that uses RGB-D camera data to estimate terrain properties and their probability distributions, outperforming state-of-the-art methods and successfully predicting terrain properties in both simulated and real-world environments.
This paper introduces STORMMAP, a real-time planner for legged manipulators that optimizes center-of-mass motion and manipulation force trajectories to ensure dynamic stability and task completion, running significantly faster than existing methods by assuming pre-determined contact locations.
