I'm Da Kong, a PhD student and robotics researcher at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, working in the Autonomous Navigation and Perception Lab with Prof. Vadim Indelman.
My research focuses on belief-space planning, POMDP simplification, SLAM, and robot navigation. Currently, my doctoral research focuses on fast and safe decision-making under uncertainty with performance guarantee.
I have research experience in active lighting SLAM, perception datasets, and motion-estimation evaluation.
