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. Current doctoral work studies safe replanning and computational guarantees for uncertainty-aware planning.
I have research training in active lighting SLAM, perception datasets, and motion-estimation evaluation.
