Samiha Tarannum Noor is a Research Assistant at the Advanced Vision and Intelligent Systems (AVIS) Research Group, University of Dhaka, working under Dr. Md Mehedi Hasan. She holds a BSc in Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering from the University of Dhaka.
Her research interests include robot vision, autonomous UAV navigation, vision-language models, cross-modal deep learning, and real-time perception and control, with a growing interest in physics-based robot simulation using MuJoCo.
Her undergraduate thesis developed an off-board framework combining monocular depth estimation with vision-language reasoning for UAV obstacle avoidance. The framework was evaluated in Unity-ROS 2 simulation and on a Pixhawk 6C quadrotor. This research led to a paper at IEEE RAAICON 2026 and an extended journal submission to PLOS ONE.
Her technical skills include Python, C/C++, PyTorch, ROS 2, MAVLink/ArduPilot, Unity, and MuJoCo. She has also served as Vice-Chair of the IEEE RAS Student Branch Chapter at the University of Dhaka.
Research Interests: Robot Vision, Autonomous UAV Navigation, Reinforcement Learning, Vision-Language Models, Cross-Modal Deep Learning, Real-Time Perception and Control Systems, Physics-Based Robot Simulation, Robotics Kinematics and Control.
