About
Ilia Baltashov is a researcher in autonomous mobile robotics, with a primary focus on navigation and mapping in complex, multi-level indoor environments. His most cited work, "Path Planning inside Multi-Storey Buildings: an Algorithm for Autonomous Mobile Robot" (2018, 3 citations), introduces a novel approach for enabling a mobile robot to autonomously explore and traverse multi-storey buildings without prior knowledge of the environment. The robot employs lidar and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to construct a complete map of each floor, while RGB-D camera data allows it to detect and navigate staircases—a critical challenge in vertical mobility. This contribution addresses a key gap in indoor robotics, where most path planning algorithms are limited to single-floor settings. Baltashov’s work demonstrates practical solutions for real-world deployment in settings like warehouses, offices, or rescue missions. Though early in his career, his research lays important groundwork for seamless multi-level autonomous navigation, with potential applications in service robotics and building-wide logistics.
