Ahmed H. Qureshi

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, where I direct the Cognitive Robot Autonomy and Learning (CoRAL) Lab. I am also serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Robotics & Automation Letters and International Conference on Robotics & Automation (ICRA) 2023. My group performs fundamental and applied research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and control to design and develop intelligent robotic systems. Our work touches on various problems, including dextrous manipulation and control, motion planning, mobile navigation, human-robot collaboration, autonomous driving, and healthcare. Previously, I received my Ph.D. in Intelligent Systems, Robotics, and Control from the University of California San Diego, M.S. in Engineering from Osaka University, Japan, and B.S. in Electrical Engineering from NUST, Pakistan.

Collaborations & Partnerships

My team at CoRAL Lab performs fundamental research in the area of Collaborative Planning and Control, where human biomechanical and cognitive behavior models are taken explicitly into account for robots' decision-making and control. Our work aligns closely with the industry for solving a wide range of collaborative, multi-agent, robotics and autonomous driving problems in the natural dynamic world.
