Architecting autonomy for intelligent robot teams.
I'm MoniJesu James. I work on multi-agent navigation, semantic mapping, and vision-language reasoning for robots that need to understand where they are, what matters, and what to do next.
Portfolio Map
Fast paths through the work
A compact route into research outputs, engineering systems, and contact details.
Research OS
A portfolio for the way the work actually happens.
My strongest work lives in the loop between theory and hardware: represent the world, reason over goals, coordinate agents, and test the result on robots.
