High-Level Mission Planning: Design and execute autonomous action plans to achieve inspection objectives efficiently and safely under operational constraints.
Developing and experimenting with computer vision, vision-language models (VLMs), world models and other AI approaches for perception and autonomous robotic systems.
Participate in and manage the research project with Principal Investigator (PI), Co-PI and the research team members to ensure all project deliverables are met.
Research and develop robotic software packages and tools for industrial applications using the ROS framework, including capabilities in Robotics Middleware Framework (RMF) multi-agent path planning, simulator design, perception, and motion planning. Drive application-oriented robotic research towards industrial automation using ROS 2.
Build and productionize onboard autonomy for our drone fleet — localization, mapping and obstacle detection/avoidance — so drones can navigate safely through complex, cluttered crop and orchard environments rather than relying solely on pre-planned waypoints.
System commissioning & integration : Lead the end-to-end commissioning of automation solutions, ensuring that partner-developed systems are integrated successfully into port-specific workflows. Evaluate a partner's model performance, data requirements.
Autonomous navigation and decision-making capabilities of robotic systems across air, land and sea domains, to enhance safety and increase efficiency of various combat and support operations in Singapore’s challenging environment
Lead and support the mechanical and electrical design of components and assemblies for integrated cleaning payload assemblies including the robot arm side and tool side
Lead concept generation, mechanism design, detailed design, prototype development and technical problem-solving for robotic endoscope systems, subsystems and accessories
AI Development: Design and implement machine learning and AI algorithms to enable autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and decision-making for AGVs.
