RESEARCH TOPICS

• Sequential Decision Making under Uncertainty : Perception, navigation and mission planning almost based on (MO-)POMDP model.
• Human-Robots or Human-Systems Interaction : guarantee a self-reconfigurable driving system that takes account of sub-system failures during the mission, including human non-deterministic and partial observable behavior, based on (MO-)POMDP and Game Theoretical models.
