Senior🎓
Top SchoolRui De Figueiredo is a postdoctoral researcher and AI specialist with 11 years of experience at the intersection of computer vision, robotics, and biologically inspired perception. He holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico where his RbCog-funded work advanced sensorimotor coordination, multi-sensory fusion, attention mechanisms, and learning from demonstration for resource-constrained systems. Rui has combined academic rigor at VisLab and Aarhus/Aalborg Universities with industry-facing AI work at Capra Robotics, translating attention and uncertainty modelling research into practical robotic perception. Known for focusing on biologically grounded attention to make perception efficient under tight compute or sensory limits, he brings both experimental depth and applied product sensibility.
