Aayush Jain Email & Phone Number

Currently, Aayush is pursuing a Ph.D. in Imitation Learning for Safe Human-Robot Collaboration under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship program (Ireland, Italy, Serbia). In this project, he’ll be investigating how exteroceptive sensors, human-in-the-loop control architecture, and learning from demonstration can improve the productivity of a cobot cell. He aims to develop a framework for learning human behaviors and skills through demonstration to cut down the task definition time for collaborative flexible assembly lines. Aayush pursued his bachelor’s studies at VIT University (India), obtaining a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a thesis investigating methods for intelligent precision machining operations using serial manipulators. His passion for robotics and applied AI emerged during the course of his undergraduate studies. To further the experience, he spent two semesters at Advanced Intelligent Robots Lab in Taiwan as a Visiting Researcher. Later, He was awarded a fully-funded Professors Scholarship to pursue master’s studies at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. His work in Taiwan introduced a novel model-based intelligent force/position compliance end-effector aimed to develop inexpensive precision machining technologies to further enable Industry 4.0 in SMEs. Many of his works are driven by his search for “intelligent” and “practical” solutions to modern-day problems.
