José Miguel de Almeida Pedro

I am an industrial Ph.D. student at Ericsson Research under supervision of Patric Jensfelt, José Araújo and André Mateus, at the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL) at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). I am funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP).

My research interests span Robotics in general, with a special focus on Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM). I'm working on Map Representations for Visual SLAM. In particular, right now I'm interested in finding representations that efficiently reconcile geometric mapping with mapping of deep features from Visual Foundation Models.

I'm also currently part of a project on Autonomous Exploration with Map Predictions, with Ludvig Ericson.

If you're a Master's student and you're interested in doing a thesis project with me, reach out!
