Research summary
AI-generated

Lantao Liu works in robotics and artificial intelligence, focusing on how robots can navigate, map, and explore their surroundings on their own. Much of the work combines machine learning techniques (including reinforcement learning and neural networks) with planning algorithms to help robots move safely across difficult terrain and coordinate as teams. Recent projects also address perception, localization, and human-robot interaction.
