Buddhi Gamage is a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Canberra, Australia. Originally from Sri Lanka and with a background in Computer Science, his research focuses on embodied artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, and robot learning. His current work investigates world models, representation learning, and failure-aware robotic manipulation, with a particular interest in understanding how predictive representations can improve the robustness, generalisation, and interpretability of autonomous robotic systems. His broader research interests include embodied cognition, machine learning, human-robot interaction, and intelligent autonomous agents.
