Bryan Habas

I am a PhD Student in Mechancial Engineering, actively wrapping up my dissertation on Dynamic Perching of Quadrotor Robots with a defense scheduled for Nov. 2024.

My experience focuses on developing software for Computer Vision and Simulation of Autonomous Systems. Here are the areas where I excel:

  • Computer Vision

  • 3D Simulation

  • Sensor Fusion

  • System Autonomy

  • Machine Learning

  • Embedded Firmware

Research & Personal Projects

  • Autonomous Navigation and Landing in Urban Environments

    Integrated stereo vision and Lidar sensors to accurately identify landing sites and navigate complex urban environments, fusing sensor data to improve obstacle detection and situational awareness.

    System Autonomy

  • ML and Computer Vision Integration

    Integrated a custom-trained computer vision model, leveraging object detection, tracking, and instance segmentation to autonomously identify suitable landing locations.

    Computer Vision and ML

  • 3D Simulation Development

    Developed a high-fidelity simulation environment to test and validate the autonomous system stack for dynamic quadrotor landings—modeling flight dynamics and sensor interactions to ensure performance and safety in complex conditions.

    Simulation Development

  • Embedded Firmware Development

    Developed and refined embedded firmware for Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and image processing, with a focus on seamless hardware-software integration and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing in resource-limited systems.
