Profile
Dr Ji is the recipient of the Royal Academy of Engineering Industrial Fellowship, hosted by Spirent Communications Ltd and also the co-investigator/theme leader of the IROHMS (Research Centre for AI, Robotics and Human Machine Systems) funded by ERDF through WEFO. He held multiple positions as a robotics and autonomous systems researcher and engineer in both academia and industry (Dyson, Lenovo, and Autonomous Surface Vehicles).
Dr Ji’s research experience in robotics is broad, including indoor mobile robots, industrial robot manipulators, humanoid robots, and outdoor unmanned autonomous surface vehicles. His research is primarily focused on Robot Perception And Learning (RoPAL), covering a broad range of subjects, including simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM), robot vision, robot reinforcement learning, tactile sensing, deep learning, smart sensing, and their applications on autonomous robot navigation, manipulation and, more broadly, smart manufacturing.
Dr Ze Ji Senior Lecturer of Robotics and Autonomous, Cardiff UniversitJoining the Wales Conference Ambassador Network offers a fantastic opportunity to showcase the region's outstanding innovation, culture, and academic strengths, particularly in robotics and artificial intelligence. Hosting an event here highlights Wales as a vibrant hub for cutting-edge research and collaboration, especially through the pioneering work in robotics at the Robotics and Autonomous Intelligent Machines (RAIM) research group, School of Engineering at Cardiff University. I am eager to champion Wales as an inspiring destination for academics, professionals, and innovators interested in emerging fields, aiming to foster impactful partnerships and contribute actively to Wales' growing global reputation in technological innovation."
