Congratulations, Dr.Mishra!

Congratulations to lab member Kartik Prakash on successfully defending his Master’s thesis titled ‘Towards Development of a Novel Structurally Aided Long-Term Odometry and Deployment of Precision Navigation Tasks for Warehouse Applications’. Kartik will be joining Vecna Robotics as a Robotics Engineer.

Congratulations to lab member Karthikeya Parunandi on successfully defending his master’s thesis. Karthikeya’s thesis was on ‘Perturbation Feedback Approaches in Stochastic Optimal Control: Applications to Model-based and Model-free Problems in Robotics’.

Our paper “T-PFC: A Trajectory-Optimized Perturbation Feedback Control Approach” has been accepted for publication in Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) and also for presentation at IROS-2019, which will be held at Macau, China.

Lab member Karthikeya presents work on “Robust Pose-Graph SLAM Using Absolute Orientation Sensing” (published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, vol. 4, no. 2, pp. 981-988) at ICRA 2019 held at Montreal, Canada. Link to the poster: link
