Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAamir Ahmad is a tenure-track Professor of Flight Robotics at the University of Stuttgart and Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, with 11 years of experience in multi-robot and aerial systems research. He leads the Robot Perception Group, pioneering practical autonomy such as the first fully autonomous outdoor motion-capture system composed of cooperating vision-based aerial robots. His work blends rigorous academic research with hands-on system engineering, spanning postdoc and research roles across top European institutes and supervising interdisciplinary teams. Trained with a PhD in Robotics and AI from Instituto Superior Técnico and a B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur, he is known for translating complex perception and coordination problems into deployable robotic platforms. An interesting facet of his profile is the emphasis on formation flight to achieve high-accuracy motion capture, demonstrating a rare focus on cooperative sensing as a route to robust real-world autonomy.
