Mark Robinson
AI Research Scientist @ Kostas Research Institute (KRI)
MSc Robotics Engineering · Worcester Polytechnic Institute (2021)
BSc Computer Engineering · The University of Alabama (2020)
As a researcher at Kostas Research Institute, I develop and deploy advanced perception models, design semi-automated calibration interfaces for camera-LiDAR and cross-modal imaging systems, develop AR applications, among other projects. I'm motivated by my desire to learn, make the world a better place, and improve lives. When I am not writing code, you can find me playing basketball 🏀 or enjoying Downtown Boston or any of Cambridge's Squares
