Marwan Taher

Hi! I am a PhD student at the Dyson Robotics Lab supervised by Andrew J. Davison. I am interested in scene representation and understanding for downstream robotic manipulation.

In 2021, I completed my MEng in Mechatronics and Robotics at The University of Sheffield, during which I worked on Long-term Outdoor Mapping for my master’s dissertation. During my time at university and previously during high school I have been very active in competitive robotics, participating in competitions such as MATE ROV.

Other Projects

MATE ROV Competition
2016-2019

Co-founded a university underwater robotics team to participate in the MATE ROV competition. Worked on the full robotics stacks from designing and manufacturing mechanical parts, to electronics and PCB design, to control systems and computer vision.
