Multi-UAV coverage and mapping
How should a team divide a region, choose viewpoints, and adapt its motion as new sensor data arrives? I study coverage strategies that couple robot motion with the quality and uncertainty of spatial information.
Research
Distributed intelligence for aerial robot teams.
I develop planning and control methods that help multiple robots gather information efficiently, coordinate safely, and adapt to uncertainty.
Altitude-aware sensing
Altitude changes what an aerial sensor can see. My work treats altitude as a planning variable, balancing wider coverage against the loss of sensing resolution and measurement confidence.
Distributed coordination and safety
I investigate decentralized methods based on spatial partitioning and local interaction. The goal is for teams to remain scalable and resilient while respecting inter-robot safety constraints.
Tracking and informative path planning
For moving targets and uncertain environments, a useful path is one that improves what the team knows. I study guidance methods that connect information objectives with real vehicle dynamics.
