RESEARCH INTEREST
My research interest lie at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, control and optimization approaches and their application to localization, mapping, motion planning and state estimation for intelligent autonomous systems like autonomous vehicles and mobile robots. Specifically, my current research focuses on developing vision-based localization and mapping techniques that are robust to the variations in the scene caused due to illumination and weather.
