Summary
👤
SeniorJahidul Islam is an Assistant Professor of ECE at the University of Florida and founder of the RoboPI lab, bringing nine years of experience in AI-driven robotics and perception systems. He earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota, where his doctoral work produced robust, resource-efficient vision modules for visually-guided underwater robots validated in real-world field trials. Prior industry roles at Bosch, Qualcomm, and 3M sharpened his focus on deployable perception for mixed reality and ultra-low-power devices, bridging academic research and practical engineering. His research emphasizes making robots “see better” under noisy sensing and compute constraints, enabling long-term autonomous inspection and human-robot collaboration. Based in Gainesville, he combines teaching, hands-on system deployments, and an interest in translating academic advances into operational robotics solutions.
