Research areas

During my Ph.D, I was interested about multi-sensors-based control design for visually guided mobile robot which navigate in cluttered environment. Thus, I have mainly contributed to improve obstacle avoidance strategies by designing control law allowing to deal with non-collision motion and visual features visibility management.
Now, my research topics was about sensor fusion for unmanned aerial vehicles, for the SCUAV project.
