Biography
Yifu joined the ORI in 2020 and is supervised by Dr. Maurice Fallon(ori.ox.ac.uk/people/maurice-fallon). Yifu's research is focused on 3D reconstruction and its application in robotics. Specifically, he works on techniques to fuse both vision and lidar to get the best of both sensor modalities, and apply them in robotic navigation and inspection tasks. Before he joined ORI, he was an Engineering Science undergraduate also here in Oxford. His final year thesis, supervised by Prof. Philip Torr, is to build an "AI Tailor" system that predicts people's body shape and body measurements directly from photos captured from a mobile phone.
