Hi! Iโ€™m Zhang Boran, an undergraduate student majoring in Software Engineering at Harbin Engineering University (expected graduation: 2026).
My academic interests center around autonomous driving, embodied intelligence, and multimodal perception.

I have hands-on experience in areas such as mapless trajectory prediction, dexterous hand grasping with monocular point clouds, and multimodal learning.
I actively participate in academic competitions and research-driven engineering projects, and aim to build intelligent systems that understand and act like humans.

Delving into Mapping Uncertainty for Mapless Trajectory Prediction

Boran Zhang, Zongzheng Zhang, Guantian Zheng

Project

  • This paper addresses the problem of mapless trajectory prediction in autonomous driving by proposing a covariance-based map uncertainty modeling approach, along with a proprioceptive scenario gating mechanism driven by the ego vehicleโ€™s kinematic state, which adaptively integrates uncertainty information. The method significantly improves prediction accuracy and robustness across diverse driving scenarios, achieving up to a 23.6% performance gain on the nuScenes dataset compared to existing approaches.
