Shanghai Jiao Tong University
SJTU Research Group
The Shanghai research root of PIRLab: robot perception, LiDAR odometry, 3D scene flow, robust estimation, and robot manipulation learning.
Purpose
From rigorous 3D perception to robot action.
The SJTU group reflects PIRLab's long-running research foundation in the Intelligent Robotics and Machine Vision community at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
The group emphasizes strong student mentoring, open-source robot vision systems, and publication-quality research across computer vision, robotics, AI, and intelligent transportation.
LiDAR Odometry
Efficient 3D deep odometry, point-cloud representation learning, and robust localization pipelines.
Scene Flow
Large-scale 3D motion estimation, auto-labelling, uncertainty-aware learning, and dynamic perception.
Manipulation
Reinforcement learning, base controllers, real-to-sim-to-real transfer, and physically grounded policies.
