Localization-Free Obstacle Avoidance
Invented a novel mathematical approach to obstacle avoidance that eliminates the need for localization systems. The method uses only local sensor data to make navigation decisions. This research challenges traditional robotics paradigms by proving effective navigation is possible without SLAM or GPS. Published at FIRA RoboWorldCup 2023.
