Enhancing Diffusion-Based End-to-End Autonomous Driving with VLM
- Improved trajectory diversity and performance with VLM-guided dynamic anchor sampling; switched to a lightweight YOLO sampler for real-time with comparable results.
- Built a VLM-based Trajectory Scorer that re-ranks candidates by centerline alignment and collision-avoidance metrics, improving final path selection.
- 2024.07 - 2025.03
Autonomous Pick-and-Place Robot System with Multi-Floor Navigation (Husky + UR3)
- Developed an autonomous multi-floor pick-and-place robot system using a Husky-UR3.
- Applied hybrid maps, AI vision, and AR-marker to ensure safe navigation and accurate button press.
- 2023.11 - 2024.03
Outdoor Advertising Robot (Immersion Project)
- Enhanced dynamic obstacle avoidance by predicting obstacle motion using ByteTrack + Kalman filter.
- Developed a GUI-linked behavior tree for flexible and user-driven navigation control.
- 2023.09 - 2023.10
Woowa Bros. Robot Delivery Challenge
- Stabilized GPS-denied localization by fusing 3D LiDAR-based pose and IMU on a prebuilt 3D map.
- Calculated pedestrian speed and direction from YOLOv5 and LiDAR data, integrating collision risk into DWA for safe local path planning.
- 2023.05 - 2023.06
Lane-Keeping System in CARLA Simulator
- Developed a robust lane-keeping system using YOLOPv2, BEV, and Kalman filtering.
- Applied quadratic curve fitting and Stanley controller to compute accurate steering angles.
