Research Summary

The objective of Amini's research is to develop the science and engineering of autonomy and its applications to safe decision making for autonomous agents. His vision is a world with adaptive autonomous agents capable of learning to interact in complex, uncertain, and extreme scenarios, supporting people with cognitive and physical tasks. Amini worked on learning end-to-end control (i.e., perception-to-actuation) of autonomous systems, formulating confidence of neural networks, mathematical modeling of human mobility, as well as building complex inertial refinement systems.
