He -started in robotics by building a line-follower robot in high school, went on to -a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and an M.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering, and -became deeply involved in multi-agent robotics as a member of the Mechatronics -Research Laboratory and an executive committee member of the RoboCup Middle Size -soccer robot League. +Seyed Ehsan Marjani Bajestani is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MIST Lab, +Polytechnique Montréal. He received his B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and +M.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering before joining the MIST Lab as a Ph.D. +student in Computer Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, where he conducted +research on event-based perception and robotic vision. He later joined the +MIST Lab as a Postdoctoral Fellow. + +His research spans swarm robotics, multi-agent systems, robotic perception, and +embedded systems. Throughout his career, he has combined academic research with +hands-on engineering, contributing to projects ranging from autonomous robotic +exploration and search-and-rescue systems to event-based perception, embedded +medical devices, and large-scale robotic coordination. He has also been actively +involved in the [RoboCup community](https://www.robocup.org/) for over a decade. +After competing in the RoboCup Middle Size League from 2014 to 2017 and contributing +to multiple international championship-winning teams, he went on to serve as +a Technical Committee Member and later as an Executive Committee Member until +2024, supporting the league’s technical and organizational development. ## Current Work -Ehsan's research interests are in multi-agent perception — cooperative -localization, tracking, and formation strategies. He currently focuses on -cooperative tracking using event-based vision, across environments ranging from -structured soccer fields to fully unknown terrain. +Ehsan’s research focuses on swarm robotics, multi-agent systems, and robotic +perception. He is currently working on the Swarm Orchestra project, investigating +how large groups of autonomous robots can coordinate expressive collective +behaviors through decentralized control, perception, and interaction. + +## Previous Projects at MIST Lab + +### Event-Based 3D Perception +During his Ph.D. at Polytechnique Montréal, Ehsan developed novel high-speed 3D +sensing methods using event cameras and structured light. His system used a DLP +projector to rapidly project coded color patterns, while a monochrome event-based +camera captured the resulting events to reconstruct both object color and depth +at very high temporal resolution, enabling low-latency robotic perception. + +### Portiloop v2 +Designed the embedded hardware and [custom PCB](https://github.com/Portiloop/portiloop-hardware) +system for a portable closed-loop EEG stimulation device. + +### Search and Rescue with Swarm Robotics +Designed and implemented decentralized search, distributed mapping, and +communication relay strategies that enable autonomous robot swarms to operate +effectively under sparse and intermittent network connectivity. + +### IGLUNA +Contributed to autonomous robotic systems for planetary exploration scenarios +and field robotics applications. + +## Teaching +- Instructor, Swarm Intelligence, Polytechnique Montréal (Winter 2026) +- Teaching Assistant, Swarm Intelligence, Polytechnique Montréal (Winter 2023) ## Selected Awards +- World Champion, RoboCup 2015, Middle Size League Technical Challenge (Hefei) +- 1st Place, IranOpen 2017 RoboCup, Middle Size League (Tehran) +- 3rd Place, RoboCup 2016, Middle Size League Technical Challenge (Leipzig) -- 1st place, RoboCup 2015, Middle Size League Technical Challenge (Hefei) -- 1st place, IranOpen 2017 RoboCup, Middle Size League (Tehran) -- 3rd place, RoboCup 2016, Middle Size League Technical Challenge (Leipzig) +## Selected Publications +- **Seyed Ehsan Marjani Bajestani** and Giovanni Beltrame. +["Event-based RGB sensing with structured light."](https://doi.org/10.1109/WACV56688.2023.00542) +2023 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of +Computer Vision (WACV).
