- Formulated novel algorithms and demonstrated a full working system for semantic identification of indoor structures like doorways, stairs etc. from a scanning LIDAR equipped robotic platform as part of this program from the Robotics Technology Consortium, Inc. (RTC).
- Designed and developed a novel streaming architecture for real-time data processing from mobile robots.
