PHAN VAN HOANG ANH

• I am a Control and Automation Engineering student at HCMC University of Technology and Education, with a strong background in robotics, embedded systems, and AI for autonomous navigation. My research focuses on developing vision-based perception systems using object detection, monocular depth estimation, and 3D obstacle localization for self-driving applications. I have also worked on trajectory planning for real-time motion control. I am equally passionate about deploying robust solutions on embedded platforms, optimizing for real-world constraints such as latency, reliability, and resource efficiency.

Vision-based Perception for Autonomous Vehicles 

Jan 2024 – Present | ISLab, HCMUTE | accepted at HSI 2025 (Ulsan, Korea) 

Implemented vision-based perception for obstacle avoidance. Utilized monocular depth estimation and object detection to localize 3D obstacles, and planned optimal trajectories using quintic polynomial paths in Frenet coordinates.
