​From Concept to Reality: An In-Depth Review of​ ​Autonomous Driving Strategies and Their​ ​Implementation​

Published in International Conference on Mechanical Design and Manufacturing (ICMDM), 2023

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of driving strategies for perception, prediction, and control, particularly emphasizing recent advances in deep learning-based approaches. We also discuss the benefits and limitations of each approach and highlight areas for future research.

Reactive Collision Avoidance for Safe Agile Navigation

Published in IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2025

The goal is to enable an agile aerial vehicle with an RGBD sensor to navigate safely from start to goal in unknown, dynamic environments. Our method combines nonlinear model predictive control with adaptive control barrier functions, directly linking perception-driven constraints to real-time planning and control
