Yufeng Jin

I am a PhD student at PEARL Lab at TU Darmstadt, jointly advised by Prof. Georgia Chalvatzaki and Dr. Mathias Franzius (Honda Research Institute Europe).
My research focuses on object 6D pose estimation and uncertainty modeling, with broader interests in robotics perception and human-object interaction.

Before starting my PhD in December 2023, I worked as a Robotics Perception Engineer at the Honda Research Institute Europe, where I conducted applied research in robot vision and teleoperation scenarios.

I received my Master’s degree in Mechatronics and Computer Science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in 2021.
My background bridges the domains of robotics and computer vision.
