Ali Akbari
​
Researcher in Robotics and AI
Dyson Technology Ltd.
I am a dedicated AI and Robotics researcher currently contributing to groundbreaking developments at Dyson, Hullavington in the United Kingdom.
​
As a Robotics Researcher with over a decade of experience in autonomous systems and robotic manipulation, I have consistently pioneered innovative solutions in these fields. My expertise spans a broad spectrum, including deep learning, large language models, imitation learning, vision-language fusion, vision-language action, and planning. My overarching goal is to continually push the boundaries of intelligent systems and address diverse challenges in autonomous robotics.
​
Furthermore, my research extends to developing planning algorithms in the presence of uncertain information and human-robot interactions. Whether dealing with uncertainty in the initial state of the robot world or the outcome of manipulation actions, my methodologies provide robust solutions. These cutting-edge approaches have undergone rigorous testing, both in simulation environments and through practical applications in real-world scenarios, utilizing robots such as YuMi, TIAGo-PAL, and KUKA-LWR.
​
My research interests include:
- Robot Manipulation
- Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models in Robotics
- Cognitive Robotics
- Learning Techniques for Human-Robot Interactions
- Planning under Uncertainty
