Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefanie Tellex is a professor of computer science at Brown University who builds robots that understand and communicate with humans using natural language. With a Ph.D. from MIT Media Lab and a research career spanning MIT CSAIL to Brown, she focuses on grounding language in perception and action so robots can follow instructions, ask clarifying questions, and request help. Her work bridges core AI/robotics research and real-world deployment, informing manipulation and perception efforts as an advisor to industry labs and startups. She has published widely in HRI, RSS, AAAI and related venues and has been recognized as one of IEEE Spectrum’s AI’s 10 to Watch. Beyond publications, she brings a pragmatic vision — that every home will one day have a personal robot — and builds models that make that future communicative and safe. Her background in modeling spatial prepositions and motion verbs gives her a unique linguistic-first perspective on embodied AI.
