Summary
Brent Griffin is a Principal Machine Learning Scientist with nine years of experience applying ML and perception research to real-world robotic and visual AI systems. Currently at Voxel51, he helps advance the open-source FiftyOne platform to make large-scale unstructured data workflows more practical and transparent. Previously he built and led perception at Agility Robotics and spent years as an academic researcher at the University of Michigan, combining perception, reasoning, and control on physical robots. His background spans electro-mechanical design, manufacturing, and even wireless power transfer research, giving him an uncommon systems-level perspective that bridges hardware and ML. Based in Ann Arbor, he blends principled research with product-focused engineering to push perception systems from lab demos into reliable deployed systems.
