Summary
Quadruped robots are increasingly used for a wide range of applications. They have remarkable agile capabilities; however, most are still remotely piloted because they lack a high level of self-awareness. Reliable state estimation is a significant aspect for the deployment of quadrupeds because most locomotion planners and control strategies rely on an accurate pose and velocity estimate of robots. My research program's long-term vision is to improve quadruped robot autonomy by developing novel perception algorithms.
