Hayk is an experienced roboticist who develops robust approaches to computer vision, deep learning, nonlinear optimization and motion planning to bring intelligent robots into the mainstream. He leads the autonomy team at Skydio, building intelligent flying machines that define the state of the art in UAV visual localization, obstacle avoidance and navigation of complex scenarios. He also has a keen interest in systems architecture and symbolic computation. His previous work includes novel hexapedal robots, collaboration between robot arms, micro-robot factories, solar panel farms and self-balancing motorcycles. Hayk holds a Master’s degree from Stanford University and a Bachelor’s from Princeton University
