Epoxy Sorting via Deep Learning for Circular Manufacturing
An autonomous vision system identifies epoxy-containing objects, estimates pick positions using bounding boxes, and executes targeted pick-and-place actions while ignoring non-epoxy items.
I am Dr. Syed Ali Hassan, a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University with nearly 10 years of experience across AI, computer vision, robotics, and immersive technologies. My work connects deep-learning research with practical robotic inspection, autonomous systems, and interactive AR/VR applications.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University in Herning, Denmark, with nearly 10 years of experience bridging research and software development. My work combines AI-driven robotic inspection, deep learning, computer vision, intelligent automation, and immersive AR/VR applications.
I completed my PhD in Bio-Robotics at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna's BioRobotics Institute in Italy through the Marie Curie-funded EINST4INE programme (2021-2024). I previously completed an MS in IT Convergence Engineering at Kumoh National Institute of Technology in South Korea as a fully funded Professor Scholar, following a BS in Software Engineering.
My selected projects span epoxy inspection and sorting for circular manufacturing, traffic and lane detection, textile defect detection with human-robot collaboration, 3D augmented-reality logo recognition, autonomous road inspection, and machine-environment contamination detection. I published 17 peer-reviewed publications and a co-authored Korean registered patent, No. 10-2349818, for an autonomous road-crack detection drone based on an improved CNN.
