Jad Abou-Chakra
Hi there! I am the co-founder and CTO of Sydekick Robotics, where we are bringing physical AI to manufacturing and tackling the long tail of tasks that have kept robots off the factory floor. Previously, I was at the Robotics & AI Institute (formerly the Boston Dynamics AI Institute). I hold a PhD from the QUT Centre for Robotics, where I specialized in structured world models for robot manipulation and robot learning.
