Cambridge
Cambridge Robotics Group
A focused research group for physical intelligence, 3D robot perception, neural mapping, localization, and robotics for the built world.
Purpose
Robots that understand geometry, semantics, and change.
The Cambridge Robotics Group connects PIRLab research with the University of Cambridge ecosystem in engineering, computer vision, construction automation, and embodied AI.
The group emphasizes deployable perception: scene-level reconstruction, robust localization, dynamic mapping, 3D/4D representation learning, and robotic systems that work beyond clean laboratory settings.
Robot Perception
Depth, LiDAR, RGB-D, point cloud learning, 2D-3D registration, segmentation, and object-level motion.
Mapping and SLAM
Dense semantic maps, neural implicit representations, localization, relocalization, and digital twin construction.
Built-World Robotics
Robotics and AI methods for construction, infrastructure, spatial intelligence, and physical scene understanding.
