  • Description

    My research focuses on using environmental  information to achieve high efficient motion planning. This process usually involves two main components: a point cloud autoencoder to extract environmental representation from the point cloud through unsupervised reconstruction, and a sampling network to predict a multi-density distribution for the next configuration state based on the extracted representation. It is closely related to point cloud autoencoder and nerual motion planning. I'm also interested in densely-populated pedestrian navigation and human-robot cooporation.
