   * **Sensor Fusion** - Arguably, this is perhaps one of the most celebrated research areas among roboticists of all times. My focus is to study and develop unified methods for sensor fusion that are not only scalable to large environments but also simultaneously to a large number of sensors. ​   * **Sensor Fusion** - Arguably, this is perhaps one of the most celebrated research areas among roboticists of all times.

-  * **Robot Vision** - Target tracking, robot localization and mapping using robotic vision is my primary focus. At the same time, I am interested in studying cameras that follow non-conventional projection models, e.g., fisheye lens-based cameras that follow equidistant ​project. Their non-conventional optics fascinates me and leads me to believe they can be exploited for far more efficient and elegant vision algorithms than the current state-of-the-art.+  * **Robot Vision** - Target tracking, robot localization and mapping using robotic vision is my primary focus.

   * **Human-Robot Interaction** - The human factor in successful real-world deployment of robotic systems is undeniable. Whether it concerns remotely operating robots or dealing one-to-one with an assistant robot in a public place, interaction not only needs to be natural for humans but also cost effective for the robotic system such that their performance in real time is guaranteed. The issue is further amplified when we consider human interaction with multi-robot systems and in large environments. My research focus is to study how i) the //​naturalness//​ of human-robot interaction and ii) scalability of multi-robot functionalities,​ are correlated and to develop unified methods that efficiently handle the trade-offs between the aforementioned.  ​   * **Human-Robot Interaction** - The human factor in successful real-world deployment of robotic systems is undeniable.
