- World models state estimation and system identification
- Safety-aware and constraint-driven learning and control
- Multimodal & Foundation Models
- Vision-Language(-Action) models for perception planning and control
- Representation learning across modalities (vision language proprioception signals)
- Cross-domain and cross-embodiment generalization
- Cyber-Physical Systems & Embedded Intelligence
- Embedded ML and edge AI for real-time systems
- Integration of learning algorithms with sensors actuators and control stacks
- Sim-to-real transfer and deployment on physical platforms
- Engineering & Prototyping
- System prototyping
- Data collection pipelines simulation environments and benchmarking frameworks
- Deployment of AI systems to industrial settings
