Smail Ait Bouhsain
Postdoctoral Researcher at Inria Paris.
I am a research scientist in AI and Robotics. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Inria in Paris, working with Dr. Shizhe Chen and Dr. Justin Carpentier on Embodied Perception and Real-to-Sim approaches. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from LAAS-CNRS, advised by Dr. Rachid Alami and Dr. Thierry Simeon. My doctoral research focused on developing deep learning methods for multi-robot task and motion planning, more specifically, how to allow multiple robot agents to plan, reason spatially, and collaborate to solve complex, long-horizon manipulation tasks. This work led to several publications in conferences such as ICLR, ICRA, IROS and ECAI.
Previously, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), where I specialized in Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems. I also worked on several projects in industry, including building multimodal deep learning systems for emotion recognition at Logitech and developing autonomous systems and planning pipelines at OCP Group. Feel free to check my CV or my LinkedIn profile for more details.
Research Interests: Applied AI, Embodied AI, Computer Vision, Robotics.
