Hi, I am David Hall, research scientist at the Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) whose long-term goal is to see robots able to cope with the unpredictable real world.

I began this journey with my PhD on adaptable systems for autonomous weed species recognition as a part of the strategic investment in farm robotics (SIFR) team. Between 2018 and 2021 I have worked as part of the robotic vision challenge group within the Australian Centre of Robotic Vision (ACRV) and QUT Centre for Robotics designing challenges, benchmarks, and evaluation measures that assist emerging areas of robotic vision research.

As a part of the robotic vision challenge group, I have assisted in:

I have continued my research in agricultural robotics, examining weed recognitions systems that can predict when they might fail, as well as investigations into the uses of implicit model representations for visual place recognition.

I have just begun working for CSIRO and am looking forward to producing more work that can bring sense and safety to useful autonomous systems.
