Embodied AI, Robotics, Perception, and Action with Professor Roberto Martin-Martin

About Professor Roberto Martin-Martin: Roberto Martín-Martín is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, where his research integrates robotics, computer vision, and machine learning to build autonomous agents capable of perceiving, learning, and acting in the real world. His work spans low-level tasks like pick-and-place and navigation to complex activities such as cooking and mobile manipulation, often drawing inspiration from human cognition and integrating insights from psychology and cognitive science. He previously worked as an AI Researcher at Salesforce AI and as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab with Silvio Savarese and Fei-Fei Li, leading projects in visuomotor learning, mobile manipulation, and human-robot interaction. He earned his Ph.D. and M.S. from Technische Universität Berlin under Oliver Brock and a B.S. from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. His work has been recognized with best paper awards at RSS and ICRA, and he serves as Chair of the IEEE/RAS Technical Committee on Mobile Manipulation.
