Research Statement
My research focuses on intelligent robotic systems that operate reliably in unstructured real-world environments. I work at the intersection of robotics, control theory, and machine learning — developing frameworks for dynamic modeling, motion control, and autonomous navigation. My long-term goal is to contribute to robots that can perceive, reason, and act with human-level adaptability, with applications in assistive robotics and industrial automation.
Research Interests
Robotics & Mobile Robotics
Design and control of autonomous mobile robots, locomotion strategies, and real-world deployment challenges.
Control Systems & Dynamics
Kinematic and dynamic modeling, motion control, trajectory planning, and real-time control architectures.
Reinforcement Learning
Applying RL to robot control and decision-making problems, including sim-to-real transfer.
Computer Vision & Deep Learning
Visual perception for robotics including SLAM, object detection, semantic segmentation, and AR integration.
