SLAM Research @ AFRL

I am Computer Vision Engineer at Dexterity working on problems at the intersection of Robotics x Computer Vision. At dexterity, we are developing autonomous truck loading robots leveraging AI and Computer Vision. I completed my PhD at Autonomous Field Robotics Lab advised by Prof. Ioannis Rekeitis.

My research was focused on increasing the robustness of visual-inertial SLAM for underwater environments. I have worked on projects involving comparing various state estimation algorithms in the underwater domain, developing a deep pose estimation framework for underwater relative localization, and using GoPro as an inexpensive sensor for underwater structure mapping. We recently presented a paper on tightly-coupled fusion of magnetometer with Visual-Inertial SLAM at ICRA 2024.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Tribhuvan University, Pulchowk Campus.
