👤 Short Bio
Hi! Welcome to my website. I’m Baker Herrin, a Ph.D. student supervised by Prof. Jane Shin in the APRILab (Active Perception and Robot Intelligence Lab), University of Florida, Gainesville. My research is focused on data-driven robot planning and 3D mapping. My research seeks to combine the domains of deep learning, uncertainty quantification, path planning, and 3D reconstruction. Some areas of interest are Neural Radiance Fields, planning algorithms, SLAM, and Model Predictive Control. Through my research I’m seeking to enhance our ability to use robotics as a tool to better map and track changes in the environment around us.
My research interest includes:
- Photorealistic Robot Mapping
- Underwater perception platforms
- 3D Change detection
