I work at the intersection of perception (computer vision) and control for robotics. My work relies heavily on machine-learning, optimisation and simulations (rendering and physics). I am currently a Research Scientist at NVIDIA Robotics and prior to that I was a Research Scientist at OpenAI and before that I obtained my PhD from Imperial College.
Some of my interesting works include VaFRIC and ICL-NUIM where we worked on trying to use computer graphics to benchmark tracking and SLAM systems. This was followed up by SceneNet and SceneNet RGB-D where we used computer graphics to do scene understanding (semantic segmentation) using neural networks. Recently, we looked at using GPU Accelerated Physics with Reinforcement Learning to understand how to close the sim-to-real gap. More recently, the work on DexPilot allows us to do entirely vision based tele
