Active depth sensing achieves robust depth estimation but is usually limited by the sensing range. Naively increasing the optical power can improve sensing range but induces eye …
Active sensing through the use of Adaptive Depth Sensors is a nascent field, with potential in areas such as Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). They do however require …
To navigate in an environment safely and autonomously, robots must accurately estimate where obstacles are and how they move. Instead of using expensive traditional 3D sensors …
To safely navigate unknown environments, robots must accurately perceive dynamic obstacles. Instead of directly measuring the scene depth with a LiDAR sensor, we explore …
As factories continue to evolve into collaborative spaces with multiple robots working together with human supervisors in the loop, ensuring safety for all actors involved becomes …
In this dissertation, we aim to make progress toward building embodied agents that coexist with humans and assist humans to perform various tasks physically. We focus on developing …
