Simon Roy is a Master's student in computer engineering at Polytechnique Montréal and Mila, supervised by Professor Giovanni Beltrame. He received his Bachelor's degree with honors in Software Engineering from the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) in December 2024. He is interested in autonomous robotics and space exploration.
Current Work
- LLM-driven mission planning — using large language models to translate high-level objectives into structured, adaptive task sequences for autonomous robots under real-world constraints.
- Precision landing for aerial robotics — vision-based, markerless algorithms that let drones identify, track, and land on arbitrary targets with sub-meter accuracy.
- Latent-space world modeling — compact learned representations of environmental dynamics for real-time planning and decision-making.
