Sai Haneesh Allu

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas, advised by Dr. Yu Xiang in the Intelligent Robotics and Vision Lab.

My research focuses on autonomous robot systems, particularly in efficient path planning, exploration, navigation, SLAM, simulation, control, and mobile manipulation in large-scale environments. I'm interested in developing algorithms that enable robots to intelligently perceive, map, and interact with their surroundings in real-time.

Previously, I completed my M.Tech in Control and Automation at IIT Delhi and my B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NIT Warangal. I also co-founded VECROS Technologies where I worked on VIO-based autonomous systems.

Research

I'm interested in robotics, computer vision, machine learning, and control systems. Much of my research involves developing algorithms for robot autonomy, focusing on exploration, semantic mapping, navigation, and manipulation in complex environments. Some papers are highlighted.

An approach for autonomous exploration and semantic updating of large-scale indoor environments, enabling robots to efficiently map and understand complex spaces.

A method for optimizing grasping trajectories using point cloud data, improving robotic manipulation in complex environments.

A benchmark for real-world robot manipulation through reproducible scene creation, enhancing evaluation of robotic systems.

A study on formation control strategies for quadcopters, enabling coordinated flight in multi-agent systems.
