Dr Feras Dayoub

Senior Lecturer

School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology


I work at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and robotics, specializing in Embodied AI and Robotic Vision as part of the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) at the University of Adelaide. I co-direct CROSSING, a French-Australian laboratory focused on human-autonomous agent teaming. In addition to my role at AIML, I hold an Adjunct position at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and serve as an Associate Investigator with the QUT Centre for Robotics. Previously, I was a Chief Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision. My research is dedicated to advancing the reliable deployment of computer vision and machine learning on mobile robots in real-world environments. I worked on applied robotic vision projects spanning agricultural innovation, environmental conservation, and autonomous infrastructure monitoring. As an educator, I am passionate about teaching programming, computer vision, machine learning, and robotic perception.
