Robotics

The Department of Robotics in MBZUAI focuses on the AI based robotics research for the future of human society. The fields of research are: foundation models for robots in various real-world environments; reinforcement learning of robot control for manipulation and mobility in unstructured dynamical environments; humanoid robotics including whole-body imitation learning, human-motion understanding, human-robot interactions using linguistic, psychological and cognitive tokens; and data-science of robots and humans including multimodal data acquisition. The real-world in the scope of application spans industrial, agricultural, household, healthcare, urban, natural, and planetary environments.
