WeTalkRobots
I am working on WeTalkRobots, my blog on Robotics and AI for robotics. In WeTalkRobots I’ll go through some of the latest advancements in the field of robotics, analysing latest developments and summirizing research papers. WeTalkRobots is both for more experienced researchers and engineers, but it also tries to reach out to less technical people…
AI EMAIL: The AI Agent for Parsing Your Emails
I have recently released AI Email, an AI agent based on Chatgpt which is capable of connecting to yorìur GMAIl account and read your emails. You can find the codes on GitHub. The Web interafce is built using Gradio. How Does It Work? The Agent can be prompted with authors or topics of interest, and…
Presenting at IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2024
It is my great pleasure to announce that I presented the work from my first year in Huawei at ICRA 2024, one of the top international robotics conferences, held in Yokohama. The work is about a ful pipeline for allowing robots to play table-tennis by employing three different control strategies:- Model-based- Pure Reinforcement Learning- Hybrid…
SumMario: The AI Agent for Text Summarization and Information Retrieval
I have recently released SumMario, an AI agent based on Chatgpt which is capable of searching the internet for news, summarizing the news, summarizing Youtube video contents, and read txt, ppt, pdf files. You can find the codes on GitHub. SumMario also acts as a personal assistant, being able to access its memory and keep…
Excellent New Joiner @ Huawei
It is my great pleasure to announce that I was awarded the Excellent New Joiner award for the year 2023 at Huawei Hong Kong. It was a honor for me to receive such an award from the company after my first year of joining it. I hope and I wish I will be able to…
Feature Clustering for Open-Set Recognition in LCD Manufacturing
It is my great pleasure to announce that our latets paper has been publishe on IEEE Transaction on Instrumentation and Measurements (TIM). The work is about image classification for defect detection in LCD manufacturing, specifically open-set classification. Qualty assessment is of uttermost importance in industries like LCD manufacturing, in order to ensure products meet customer’s…
Imperial College London-Amazon PhD Prizes for Outstanding Achievement in Robotics 2022
It is my great pleasure to announce that I was selected as one of the finalist of the Amazon Award 2022 organized by Imperial College Robotics Forum. I presented the research achievents of my PhD on the novel approahces developed for robot model learning, control, and design optmization.
Task Accuracy Enhancement for a Surgical Macro-Micro Manipulator With Probabilistic Neural Networks and Uncertainty Minimization
Accepted for publication in IEEE Transaction in Automation Science and Engineering (T-ASE), 2022 Description: Machine learning and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) can be powerful tools to model complex systems like robots.In fileds like surgery, robots are very complex, and analytical models are hard to compute. Having an accurate model is, however, fundamental in order to…
Presenting at IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) 2022
It is my great pleasure to announce that I presented two of my PhD works at IROS 2022, one of the top international robotics conferences, held in Kyoto. The two works are those described in : I am here sharing the videos of my presentations during the conference.
Model Learning with Backlash Compensation for a Tendon-driven Surgical Robot
Accepted for publication in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RAL), 2022 Description: Surgical robots are very complex systems, due to the requirements for miniaturization and high dexterity. This leads to highly articulated and complex designs to increase the system’s felxibility and dexterity, while the miniaturization requirement leads to the choice of non-traditional actuation systems like…
