About
Alexey Vinel is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work bridges autonomous vehicles, human-robot interaction, and emerging questions of robot ethics and social responsibility. His research spans two compelling threads: the technical foundations of connected autonomous systems and the profound societal implications of deploying robots in real-world environments. On the technical side, Vinel has contributed to vehicular communication networks, cooperative autonomous driving, and crash prediction using V2X and visual information. His work on Age of Information in CSMA-based networks addresses the real-time data exchange demands of cyber-physical systems, while his CAR Approach framework offers an innovative model for educating future autonomous systems researchers. Perhaps most distinctively, Vinel has pioneered the emerging field of "robot self-defense" — examining whether robots should be permitted to use force to protect humans from harm. This provocative and socially significant body of work, which has accumulated over 30 citations since 2022, explores ethical, cultural, and trust dimensions of robot agency in dangerous situations. His complementary research on robots as first responders further positions him at the forefront of thinking about autonomous systems as active participants in human safety and emergency response.
