Emmanuel Alabi

Software Engineer working toward AI & Robotics Research

I'm interested in intelligent systems that can perceive, reason, learn, and act in complex environments.

My current focus is building deeper foundations in machine learning, robotics, computer vision, autonomous systems, and embodied intelligence.

Question. Which open problem in embodied, multimodal autonomy can I formulate precisely enough — and instrument well enough — to investigate with controlled experiments rather than demonstrations?

The programme of study and experimentation I began in August 2026: building the mathematical, perceptual, and control foundations needed to run independent research on embodied agents, and identifying the specific question I want to pursue in depth.

Areas I'm exploring

These are interests, not claims of expertise.

More about me

Embodied AI: How intelligent agents can perceive, reason about, and interact with physical environments.
Robot Learning: Learning policies and representations for perception, navigation, manipulation, and control.
Computer Vision: Visual perception and representation for autonomous systems.
Autonomous Systems: Systems capable of sensing, planning, decision-making, and action.
Multimodal Intelligence: Combining vision, language, sensor observations, and action.

Selected projects

Implementations, engineering systems, and experimental work — distinct from formal research.

Engineering background

Before focusing more deeply on AI and robotics research, I worked across full-stack systems, AI infrastructure, distributed systems, developer tooling, and production software. That background is the reason I approach research as a systems problem as much as a modelling one.
