Robust Autonomy Under Uncertainty

Research-oriented robotics, perception, estimation, and decision-making systems for safety-critical autonomous agents.

This site is organized as a coherent research program. Each repository is framed through a scientific question, current implementation status, limitations, and next experiments, with no inflated claims about publications, affiliations, or validated benchmarks.

Research focus

Robust autonomy, visual-inertial localization, uncertainty-aware perception, risk-aware navigation, and intelligent mobility safety.

Research statement

Autonomy should expose uncertainty before it fails.

My work is organized around a practical research problem: robotic systems often fail not because every module is wrong, but because perception, localization, and planning continue operating as if degraded estimates were reliable.

The portfolio therefore treats uncertainty as a system variable. VIO health, sensor reliability, semantic perception, communication quality, and path risk are connected as parts of one autonomy stack.

Scientific framing

Every module begins from a research question, not from a visual demo.

Transparent maturity

Implemented, prototype, planned, and pending results are deliberately separated.

Reproducibility first

Experiments are expected to expose assumptions, metrics, limitations, and failure cases.

Research pillars

One coherent autonomy stack.
