Bolívar Enrique Solarte Pardo, Ph.D. Ai / ML Researcher

I’m an Ai and Machine Learning Researcher at ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute) in Hsinchu, Taiwan 🇹🇼. With over six years of experience in both industry and academia, I specialize in computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, and robotics, which has led to top-tier research publications and successful industrial robot applications.

Originally from Ecuador 🇪🇨, I moved to Taiwan in 2017. I obtained my M.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Syh‑Shiuh Yeh at National Taipei University of Technology, where I worked on evolutionary algorithms and deep learning optimization of CNC manufacturing processes.

In 2024, I received my Ph.D. degree from National Tsing Hua University under the supervision of Prof. Sun Min, in collaboration with Prof. Wei-Chen Chiu and Dr. Yi-Hsuan Tsai, where my research focused on geometric perception, particularly self-training solutions using 360° cameras and multi-view consistency.

In general, my research interests lie in geometry perception and robotics applications. Specifically, I am interested in scene understanding, robot navigation, reinforcement learning (RL), Large Language Models (LLMs), and their applications in robotics. Eager to learn, I am always open to new ideas and collaborations!
