2    I am a &lt;a href=https://research.gatech.edu/animesh-garg&gt;Stephen Fleming Early Career Professor&lt;/a&gt; in Computer Science at Georgia Tech.

I also hold courtesy appointments at University of Toronto and Vector Institute. I have previously held research leadership positions at Nvidia and Apptronik. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
3    My research vision is to build the &lt;i&gt;Algorithmic Foundations for Generalizable Autonomy&lt;/i&gt;, that enables robots to acquire skills, at both cognitive &amp; dexterous levels, and to seamlessly interact &amp; collaborate with humans in novel environments. My group focuses on understanding &lt;i&gt;structured inductive biases&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;causality for decision making&lt;/i&gt;. In particular we are looking at &lt;i&gt;multi-modal object-centric and spatiotemporal event representations&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;self-supervised pre-training for reinforcement learning &amp; control&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;principle of efficient dexterous skill learning&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In particular we are looking at \u003ci\u003emulti-modal object-centric and spatiotemporal event representations\u003c/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eself-supervised pre-training for reinforcement learning \u0026 control\u003c/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eprinciple of efficient dexterous skill learning\u003c/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cb\u003eResearch Interests:\u003c/b\u003e Foundation Models, Reinforcement Learning, Robotics, 3D Vision.\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cb\u003eCurrent Applications:\u003c/b\u003e Self-Driving Labs, Surgical Robotics, Manufacturing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003ci\u003eCheck out \u003ca href=\"https://pairlab.github.io\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePAIR Group\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/a\u003e for info on our research and how to join us.\u003c/i\u003e\n    "])</script>

Line numbers count LF bytes from the start of the resource, as the search results do. Vendor segments are library code the classifier recognised; they are stored but not indexed. Bytes are shown as Latin1 characters, one per byte.
