Andrea Bajcsy
Intent Lab Research Publications Contact

I am an Assistant Professor in the Robotics Institute and School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

I lead the Interactive and Trustworthy Robotics Lab (Intent Lab). We study how to make learning-enabled robots safely and intelligently interact with humans. We draw upon methods from optimal control, dynamic game theory, Bayesian inference, and deep learning.

I obtained my Ph.D. in electrical engineering & computer science at UC Berkeley with Anca Dragan and Claire Tomlin. Previously, I was also a postdoctoral scholar with Jitendra Malik and worked at NVIDIA in the Autonomous Vehicle Research Group.

I am recruiting PhD students for Fall 2023!

Prospective students: please see here.

Unsure how to pronounce my last name? Bajcsy sounds like BYE-chee.
