Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPavel Kopanev is a 3D computer vision and embodied AI engineer with nine years of experience building end-to-end vision-based manipulation and perception systems. A Skoltech and BMSTU graduate with top grades, he has worked across industry and research—at Technology Innovation Institute, Huawei, Teleport and Skolkovo—specializing in 6D pose estimation, multi-modal 3D object detection, neural rendering and SLAM. He designs ROS1/ROS2 manipulation pipelines, synthetic-data rendering workflows, and foundation-model-driven perception for generalizable robot manipulation. Pavel combines deep learning research (neural radiance fields, reconstruction) with practical deployment experience in robotics and multi-sensor fusion, and has competed internationally in robotics competitions. Based in Abu Dhabi, he blends rigorous academic training with hands-on engineering, often bridging simulation-to-reality gaps that accelerate robot readiness for real-world tasks.
