Projects
Research projects in Robotics (perception, planning, and control) and HRI for assistive technology.
Assistive Robotics for the Blind & Low-Vision People
GuideNav: Vision-Only Long-Range Route Following — Robust visual teach-and-repeat for kilometer-scale route following using only images.
GuideData: Handler-Guide Dog Interaction Dataset — A dataset capturing interactions between handlers and guide dogs for guide dog robot design implications.
GuideTWSI: Stopping at Tactile Pavings — Synthetic TWSI data generation for tactile paving segmentation and stopping.
Quiet and Stable Locomotion Control — Stable and low-noise locomotion controller for quiet walking and smooth stair climbing.
System Integration & Obstacle Avoidance — Guide dog robot configuration and semantics-aware local path planning.
The Synthetic Tactile-on-Paving (SToP) Dataset — Unreal Engine-based synthetic data augmentation for tactile paving detection.
