CARLOS PINHEIRO

Robotics Perception Engineer | SLAM, Sensor Fusion, Embedded Vision, and Real-Time 3D Systems

am a PhD candidate at the Visual Computing Group, University of Konstanz, Germany, working on collaborative visual SLAM for multi-agent robotics and embedded spatial perception.


My work over the past 15 years spans robotics perception, visual SLAM, multi-view geometry, sensor fusion, camera calibration, GPU-accelerated vision, real-time 3D systems, computer graphics, and XR, with a focus on perception systems that connect geometry, graphics, and real-world deployment.

  • Developing efficient visual SLAM methods for embedded and resource-constrained platforms in robotics and XR.
     

  • Implemented Kalman-filter-based Bayesian Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) with sensor-fusion data association for LiDAR/radar Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) perception.

  • Built VR training and simulation systems for defense programs; also explored camera–LiDAR fusion for 3D mapping workflows and implemented camera calibration workflows.

  • Developing deep learning methods for industrial image processing. Recipient of the FokusFinder Best Thesis Award.

 

  • Co-inventing the pinch/grab gesture for depth-sensing systems, later widely adopted across VR, AR, and smart glasses.
