I build intelligent robotic systems that perceive, learn, and act in the real world. My work spans vision-based perception (MonoSense, VIO, NeRF), learning-based manipulation (deep RL, imitation learning), and real hardware deployment (Franka Panda, UR5e, Crazyflie).
🚗 MonoSense – Tesla-inspired autonomous driving perception pipeline (YOLOv6, depth estimation, 3D pose, ego-motion)
🛸 Deep VIO – 6 visual-inertial odometry approaches for UAVs with transformer-based sensor fusion
🤖 Imitation Learning – BC-Transformer vs Diffusion Policy for UR5e robotic stacking
🎮 Deep RL for Picking – A3C, Actor-Critic from scratch for robotic grasping
📐 SfM + NeRF – 3D reconstruction from scratch (27.3 dB PSNR)
🚁 Quadrotor Control – Sim-to-real transfer with 83% RMSE reduction
Languages: Python, C++, MATLAB
Robotics: ROS 2 (Humble), MoveIt 2, Nav2, Gazebo, PyBullet, robosuite
Machine Learning: PyTorch, Deep RL (A3C, Actor-Critic), Imitation Learning, Diffusion Policy, NeRF
Perception: OpenCV, YOLOv6, VIO, SLAM, Structure from Motion, Bundle Adjustment, Sensor Fusion
