معرفی
Steven Waslander is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies and an Adjunct Professor in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He previously directed the Waterloo Autonomous Vehicles Laboratory (WAVELab).
Education:
- Doctorate in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University (2007)
- Master's in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University (2002)
- Bachelor's in Applied Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering from Queen's University (1998)
His research focuses on autonomous vehicles, including aerial and ground systems, with an emphasis on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), nonlinear estimation, multi-robot systems, and autonomous driving. He also explores convolutional and recurrent neural networks for motion planning and object detection.
Recent articles highlight trends in 3D detection, LiDAR-based tracking, neural radiance fields for autonomous driving, and model-agnostic pretraining for motion prediction. These works span journals like IEEE Transactions on Robotics and conferences such as ICCV and NeurIPS.
Professor Waslander has advised the University of Waterloo Robotics Team, mentored students like Evan Cook, Barza, and Marc, and collaborated with industry partners including Aeryon Labs and Clearpath Robotics. He is a member of the NSERC Canadian Field Robotics Network.
