PhD Student

I am PhD student at the NICTA Queensland Lab in the Sensor Group in the Smart Applications For Emergencies (SAFE) project and the Faculty of Information Technology at Queensland University of Technology.

My research is in vision-based topological localisation for autonomous mobile robots.
 

Research Interests
