Lauri Suomela

I am a doctoral student at Computer Vision Group, Tampere University, Finland. My work focuses on computer vision methods for autonomous robot navigation, which I investigate under the supervision of Prof. Joni Kämäräinen and Prof. Harry Edelman. The long-term goal of my research is to enable long-term autonomy for robots operating in GPS-denied environments.
