Laboratory classes with students in computer simulation methods.

Outside the university, among other things, he is involved in upgrading and building digital and analog circuits in the automotive field.

Thesis (F specialization students only): I conduct projects related to the hardware part, especially low-level. As part of the thesis under my supervision, there is an opportunity to develop one of the projects of the RoboLab research club or work with systems used in automotive applications in cooperation with external companies.

Teaching courses in machine learning (artificial intelligence), mathematics, and electronics. Thesis advisor.

The research group focuses on developing methods of spatial perception based on the fusion of 2D visual data and 3D representations in robotic systems, with a particular emphasis on medical applications. The main objective is to develop algorithms that enable the transition from sensory data to a structural and semantic description of the environment.

The work involves the analysis of images and spatial data, including 2D and 3D segmentation, feature detection, and the modeling of geometric relationships. Both deep learning methods and classical machine learning approaches are utilized, and new algorithmic solutions are being developed.

Robotics serves as a platform for implementing and validating the methods under development (including in the ROS 2 environment), enabling the construction of functional demonstration systems and prototypes. Particular emphasis is placed on integrating perception with the operation of autonomous systems.

The club’s activities take the form of research and development projects, which may serve as the basis for theses and scientific publications. Selected projects are also carried out in collaboration with external partners, including the Copernicus Science Center.

The club is aimed at people interested in working on advanced projects at the intersection of computer vision, 3D data analysis, and robotics.

It also collaborates with the Copernicus Science Center. As part of this collaboration, students have the opportunity to complete their master’s theses by implementing experimental setups using robotic arms and humanoid robots. The collaboration also includes the implementation of monitoring systems using artificial intelligence methods.
