Tomasz Piotr Kucner
Welcome!
I am a Postdoctoral researcher at MR&O Lab of AASS since December 2018. Before that, I completed a PhD thesis in Computer Science, also at MR&O Lab of AASS.
Research Interests
My main research interests are Autonomous Mobile Robots, in particular:
- Introspection
- Map quality assessment
- Dynamic mapping (People flow mapping, Wind mapping)
- 3D Perception
- Mapping and Localization
Brief CV
I was born in 1988. I have spent my childhood in Lubin (Dolny Śląsk, Poland). After finishing the local high school, I have moved to Wroclaw where I studied at the Wroclaw University of Technology. I have received there a B.Sc. in Computer Management Systems in Manufacturing (2011) and M.Sc. in Robotics (2012). During my studies, I was a member of the Student Scientific Association of Robotics KoNaR. I have also taken part in the Erasmus Programme. It gave me an opportunity to spent a year (from September 2011 to June 2012) in Denmark where I was studying at the Syddansk Universitet. Since September 2012 I am a member of the Centre of Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) at Örebro University.
