Nikolay Nikolov

I’m focused on bringing artificial intelligence into the physical world. My goal is to build robots with a single, end-to-end artificial 'brain' that can see its environment, understand how the physical world works, and make decisions on the fly. Previously, I was part of the core research team of Wayve, an autonomous driving company. There, I developed one of the first offline Reinforcement Learning models applied to autonomous driving in the real world. With my team we proved that end-to-end AI can drive in complex urban environments such as central London, which at the time was considered impossible by the entire industry.
