Summary
Tasbolat Taunyazov is a robotics and machine learning engineer with 12 years of experience bridging academic research and applied industry work, currently contributing to Light Robotics in Singapore while pursuing a PhD at NUS focused on robot manipulation. He has a strong background in control and optimization for robotic systems—developing NMPC for teleoperation and convex-optimization based collision avoidance—and has applied supervised and semi-supervised ML techniques to large telecom datasets as a senior data scientist. Comfortable moving between research and production, he combines rigorous academic training (PhD/MS/BS in robotics) with hands-on experience on manipulation platforms like Universal Robots and spherical parallel manipulators. Known for tackling hard control problems, he brings together nonlinear control, optimization, and data-driven modeling to improve robot autonomy and teleoperation performance.
