Jelena Trisovic: AI as help for people
With her AI-based research, ETH doctoral student Jelena Trisovic wants to contribute to autonomous systems optimally supporting people in the future. Before her doctorate, she completed her Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zurich.
Jelena Trisovic is researching ways to improve the interaction between perception and control in autonomous systems. Currently, robots have separate modules for perception and control, which can lead to performance issues if the data is inaccurate. This is especially crucial for search and rescue robots that operate in unfamiliar environments.
She is developing methods using self-driving toy cars to address this challenge. She is pursuing her research at the ETH AI Center and benefits from an interdisciplinary environment. Her goal is to enhance robot performance and ensure safe deployment in unknown environments.
The PhD student believes that autonomous systems can be especially beneficial in risky situations, such as space exploration or post-disaster recovery. She aims to develop a system that can reliably operate in unpredictable conditions without human supervision. While achieving this may take time, Jelena's research contributes to advancing the field of AI and brings us closer to realizing these possibilities.
Jelena completed her Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Belgrade and her Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zurich.
