Research Interest

research interests focus on robot perception, computer vision, and autonomous systems, with particular emphasis on UAV dynamics and control (PX4, LQR, iLQR). I am keen on advancing methods in SLAM, localization, and path planning for intelligent navigation, while also exploring the use of reinforcement learning and machine learning in robotics. Additionally, I work on sensor fusion, calibration, and real-time embedded systems, integrating these with ROS/ROS2 and mechatronic design to develop robust and intelligent robotic solutions
