Hello, I'm Jindou Jia

I am a Ph.D. student at the School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering and Shenyuan Honors College, Beihang University, China. I am supervised by Prof. Lei Guo, Prof. Xiang Yu, and Prof. Kexin Guo. Robots deployed in the real world inevitably face uncertainties caused by internal model mismatch and external unmeasured disturbances. The topic of my Ph.D. research is learning and predicting uncertainties for robotic control and planning.
