Dr Mohib worksclosely on the companys technical road map and assists team leads on the dayto day problem solving and in the integration of automation solution with existinginfrastructures.

He has a long educational history in the area of computer science and after graduating with a first-class honours BEng in computer system engineering from Brunel university he pursued his PhD research at UCL working novel generative agent based probabilistic estimation and update model for search and rescue application in wilderness using swarm of UAVs.

Given the fastpace of the area though Dr Mohib said that every day continues to be aneducation.

Thisfield is so fast-moving that I believe you can only stay in it with constantlyeducating yourself and keeping up to date with new technologies, new ideas andsolutions.

Structured education is great for specialisations and therefore is relevant up to a limit, but it can confine you. To excel, you need to be more open to understanding how things workwithout the limitations of application domain.

Hecredits Aidrivers with being a workplace where employees can continue a path ofpersonal growth without limitations as well as pursue entrepreneurial areas forproblem driven innovation.

Lookingahead to future developments Dr Mohib highlighted AI enabled autonomoussolutions with other automated solutions, all working seamlessly within theport industry.

For example, I want to see trucks and cranes working within one whole connected environment, He said.

Innovationlike this does not come without its challenges and Dr Mohib said that the mainhurdle will be the technology acceptance.

No matterhow much the technology improves, there will always be fear and nervousness ofthe use of Ai enabled algorithms in automated vehicles unless the trust isachieved. From ordinary persons perspective, one accident is too many when itcomes to automated vehicles even if the AI enabled autonomous system was not atfault.

Overall though it will be easier to integrate these kinds of levels of autonomy into industrial settings, compared with cities for example, because it is easier to plan, manage and enforce protocols.
