Overview of thesis

My PhD research topic is “Multimodal AI for challenging rearrangement tasks in the context of service and assistive robots”. This project is a part of collaboration between Edith Cowan University (WA, Australia) and Leibniz University of Hannover (L3S Research Center, Germany).

It aims to build models/agents capable of various interaction aspects such as object detection and manipulation, long-horizon planning and understanding pre-condition and post-conditions of their actions. Specifically, research will be focused on sparse SLAM reconstruction of moving 3D environments using cuboids/boxes/planes, etc. for reconstruction. On top of that to add the abstract semantic graph of 3D scenes layout and grasping map to plan manipulations during the rearrangement task for pick & place robots. So the main idea will be to make the advantage of using both approaches of AI: to learn an abstraction with knowledge representation (semantic graphs) and then reason over it with machine learning techniques.
