    GUEST BIO

    Tadas Baltrusaitis is a principal scientist working in the Microsoft Mixed Reality and AI lab in Cambridge, UK where he leads the human synthetics team. He recently co-authored the groundbreaking paper DigiFace 1M, a data set of 1 million synthetic images for facial recognition. Tadas is also the co-author of Fake It Till You Make It: Face Analysis in the Wild Using Synthetic Data Alone, among other outstanding papers. His PhD research focused on automatic facial expression analysis in  difficult real world settings and he was a postdoctoral associate at Carnegie Mellon University where his primary research lay in automatic understanding of human behavior, expressions and mental states using computer vision.

  • SLAM and the Evolution of Spatial AI
    Nov 7 2022

    Host Gil Elbaz welcomes Andrew J. Davison, the father of SLAM. Andrew and Gil dive right into how SLAM has evolved and how it started. They speak about Spatial AI and what it means along with a discussion about global belief propagation. Of course, they talk about robotics, how it's impacted by new technologies like NeRF and what is the current state-of-the-art.

    Guest Bio

    Andrew Davison is a professor of Robot Vision at the Department of Computing, Imperial College London. In addition, he is the director and founder of the Dyson robotics laboratory. Andrew pioneered the cornerstone algorithm - SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) and has continued to develop SLAM  in substantial ways since then. His research focus is in improving & enhancing SLAM in terms of dynamics, scale, detail level, efficiency and semantic understanding of real-time video. SLAM has evolved into a whole new domain of “Spatial AI” leveraging neural implicit representations and the suite of cutting-edge methods creating a full coherent representation of the real world from video.
