Prof. Dr. Hyung Jin Chang is an Associate Professor of the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham and a Turing Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. His research interests are focused on human-centred visual learning, especially in application to human-robot interaction. Computer vision and machine learning including deep learning are his expertise research area.
Dr. Yu-Wei Chao is a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Seattle Robotics Lab. His research lies in the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and simulation. His recent work focuses on human-robot interaction and robot learning from human in the context of object manipulation.
Prof. Dr. Dimitrios Tzionas is an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam. Earlier he was a Research Scientist at the Perceiving Systems (PS) department, at MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen. His goal is to develop human-centered AI that perceives humans, understands their behavior and helps them to achieve their goals. Potential applications include Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI).
Dr. Robert Wang supports a computer vision and machine perception team at Facebook Reality Labs / Oculus developing and shipping egocentric hand-tracking, body-tacking and and human understanding technology for augmented reality and virtual reality. Prior to that he had co-founded a small company, Nimble VR (acquired by Facebook) that built skeletal hand-tracking software.
