Offer Description Advancing 3D robotic perception by developing panoptic segmentation algorithms that integrate data streams from LiDAR, Radar, and cameras. The developed algorithms may leverage Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to achieve open-vocabulary segmentation, enabling robots to reliably detect dynamic objects in unstructured environments.



Activities will take place within the framework of the EXCEED-AIR collaborative seed project on "Robust Perception and Situational Awareness".

Objectives

Develop efficient VLM architectures capable of multimodal sensor fusion under adverse sensing conditions.

Evaluate models on standard datasets and experimental robotic platforms.

Publish results in prestigious robotics and computer vision journals and/or conferences, and release open-access, FAIR-compliant code and benchmarks via the EXCEED-AIR Virtual Joint Lab platform.
