Joseph Robinson, PhD

Welcome! I’m Dr. Joseph Robinson, an AI and machine learning expert with a deep focus on computer vision, pattern recognition, and multimodal technologies. My work sits at the intersection of research, engineering, and product development, blending academic rigor with real-world impact.

 

I’m currently a Computer Vision Engineer at Meta Reality Labs, where I work on the Data Systems team for eye tracking—building the perception, data, and evaluation pipelines that power high-fidelity gaze estimation for AR/VR devices.

 

Across my career at leading tech companies, startups, and academia, I’ve tackled problems in deep learning, human–computer interaction (HCI), scalable AI infrastructure, and robotics. I’ve contributed to projects in medical AI, robotics perception, defense applications, and generative AI, often leading efforts that push the boundaries of what intelligent systems can reliably do in the wild.

 

Previously, I worked on perception systems at Amazon Robotics, advancing vision and localization for next-generation fulfillment systems. Before that, I spearheaded generative AI initiatives at BitHuman.io, built ML systems and performance tooling for large-scale deep learning, and worked on robotics perception at Vicarious Surgical, delivering depth from stereo at submillimeter precision, as well as in research-driven AI and ML teaching roles at Northeastern University and Tufts University.

 

Beyond my technical work, I’m passionate about mentorship, open-source contributions, and making advanced AI more accessible. Outside of engineering, I’m also a dedicated yoga instructor, where I try to bring the same discipline and curiosity I apply in the lab to the mat and the community. Lately, I’ve also been deep-diving into economic concepts, trading stocks, and investing for the long term.
