Beiming Li

I am a graduate student at the GRASP Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania. I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Dr. Vijay Kumar and Dr. Alejandro Ribeiro.

Prior to UPenn, I earned my B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan (2020-2022), and a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minor in Computer Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2018-2022).

Arxiv | Code | Video

We develop an indoor exploration framework that uses learning to predict the occupancy of unseen areas, extracts semantic features, samples viewpoints to predict information gains for different exploration goals, and plans informative trajectories to enable safe and smart exploration.
