About
Arianna Salili‐James is a researcher specializing at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and natural history collection digitization, with a particular focus on automating the processing of pinned insect specimens. Based at or collaborating closely with the Natural History Museum, London (NHM), she has made meaningful contributions to one of the most pressing challenges in biodiversity informatics: the digitization of the museum's vast collection of over 80 million specimens, of which only a fraction have been catalogued digitally. Her most notable work includes developing robot-in-the-loop prototyping systems for robotic digitization workflows, and contributing to the ALICE software platform, which harnesses machine learning and computer vision to automate label extraction from pinned insect specimens. Her 2025 deep learning pipeline study further advances the case for scalable, collaborative robotic solutions in specimen processing. Collectively, her papers have accumulated 10 citations, reflecting a growing recognition of this niche but vital field. Salili‐James's research is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in how cutting-edge AI and robotics can be deployed to unlock biological data at scale, accelerating biodiversity research and conservation efforts globally.
