I am recruiting PhD students interested in Task and Motion Planning, Lifelong Learning, and Robotic Cognition. If interested, please reach out.

Khen Elimelech

 I am a a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science, in the Department of Informatics at King’s College London, where I lead the Autonomous Robots Lab.

Before joining King’s, I was a postdoctoral researcher and an instructor at Rice University, hosted by Lydia Kavraki and Moshe Vardi. Prior to that, I earned a Ph.D. from the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Program at Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Vadim Indelman, and a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from Bar-Ilan University.

My research group develops AI techniques that enable robots to perform autonomously and efficiently cognitive tasks such as planning, decision making, learning and generalizing from experiences, and overcoming uncertainty.
More specifically, our recent projects revolve around:
  • Abstractions for Task And Motion Planning (TAMP)
  • Autonomous, lifelong learning of generalizable skills and planning strategies
  • Formal verification of learned controllers
  • Problem simplification for efficient decision making under uncertainty, belief space planning, and active SLAM
