Currently, I'm a research assistant at the Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology Laboratory at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), Peru. There, I develop Artificial Intelligence algorithms for early and low-cost medical diagnosis. I obtained my bachelor degree in Science with a mention in Electronic Engineering from the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI), Peru, and ranked first in my graduating class. My research experience includes two research fellowships in Artificial Intelligence & Deep Learning at the AGH University of Science and Technology (Poland) and the University of Padova (Italy). My research areas include Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Robotics, Machine Learning and Computer Vision.

I participated in prestigious AI related conferences such as the ICML 2019 (USA), the NeurIPS 2019 (Canada), the ICML 2020 (Austria), the ACL 2020 (USA) and the RSS 2020 (USA). Regarding schools, I was accepted and participated in top schools such as the 10th Lisbon Machine Learning School (LxMLS 2020) and the Cornell, Maryland, Max Planck Pre-doctoral Research School (CMMRS 2020). Also, my academic service experience includes participation as a committee member in the role of reviewer for the LXAI Workshop at NeurIPS (2019) and the LXAI Workshop at ICML (2020). In addition to my interest and work in Artificial Intelligence, I have a special interest in science fiction and technology related books, and attraction for topics about the impact and future of science & technology.

I am a master's student at Purdue University working on robot learning under the supervision of Professor Juan Wachs. As part of my work in the Intelligent systems and assistive technologies lab, I work on developing technologies to facilitate human-robot interaction, particularly for robot applications in the healthcare domain.

My research focuses on robot learning for dexterous manipulation tasks. I investigate the capacity to transfer knowledge in a mockup surgical task between robots with different morphology. My research interests span robot learning in complex environments, autonomous systems, human-robot interaction, and robot motion dynamics.

Thulani is a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. He grew up in Swaziland, and received his BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 2015, with a concentration in Design and Manufacturing. He did research at Modular Robotics Lab at UPenn, working on modular robots and novel robotic mechanisms. His broad interest is in the design, fabrication and control of novel high-performance and low-cost medical and assistive robots, specifically using smart materials/muscles. Currently a bulk of the work he is doing involves using Supercoiled Polymer (SCPs) to develop new configurations and developing models to understand the behavior of these artificial muscles.

Hello Everyone, I am Ash Babu. Currently, I work as a Research Fellow at Surrey Space Center as part of the Future AI and Robotics for Space ( FAIR-SPACE ) Hub. My focus is on motion planning for space robots for applications like debris removal, assembly and rendezvous and docking. Prior to the above, I was a Research Fellow at University of Lincoln where I worked on robot ‘Learning from Demonstrations’.

My interests are in Robot kinematics, dynamics, optimal control, reinforcement learning and other aspects of AI in general.

I am a Ph.D. student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin. My advisor is Dr. Andrea Thomaz (Socially Intelligent Machines Lab). My research goal is to create algorithms that enable a robotic teammate to reason about the multi-dimensional aspects of an effective team. Motivated by the concept of shared cooperative activity, developed in prior work by Bratman, I propose algorithms that allow robots to reason about mutual responsiveness, commitment to the joint activity, commitment to mutual support, and fairness to improve teamwork. Prior to joining UT, I worked as an engineer at NASA-Johnson Space Center.
