Spatial AI and Robotics Lab
(SPARO Lab)

Spatial AI and Robotics (SPARO) Lab focuses on spatial intelligence of robot fields. Targeting the long-term autonomy of robots in many domains, we solve for spatial perception dealing with various sensors and algorithms. Main research interests and detailed topics include robust sensing perception in various fields, physical-based learning for robot navigation, and robotic operation in limited environments.
