PhD student at Dexbot, A*STAR and CLeAR, NUS.

Hi, there! I am Tasbolat, a final year PhD student at the School of Computing in the National University of Singapore (NUS). I am supervised by Dr. Yan Wu and Dr. Harold Soh. My PhD study is funded by SINGA scholarship.

My current research interests are Robot Manipulation, Tactile Perception, Multimodal Fusion . I am interested to make robots smarter using artificial intelligence to understand the environment through tactile sensing and vision, perform robotic tasks such as object grasping and manipulation. For more on my background works and publication, please take a look at my CV and google scholar page.

Previously, I received my M.S. and B.S in Robotics from Nazarbayev University in 2017 and 2015 respectively. During my two year long Master’s study, I worked in ALARIS lab at Nazarbayev Uninversity as a research assistant tackling control problems for both closed and open chain robots.
