Berta Bescos

I started my PhD. in Computer Vision and Robotics in May 2017 at the University of Zaragoza, where I am advised by Dr. José Neira . I have spent 5 months time working together with Cesar Cadena at ASL in ETH Zurich .

My main research interests lie in the intersection between perception and learning for robotics. The world surrounding us is complex and ever changing, which makes robots struggle to have a good understanding of the scene. My PhD. topic involves dealing with dynamic objects in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping problems for a better scene understanding with both geometry and semantics.
