Turgibot
Guy Tordjman

Hi, I'm Guy Tordjman — but most people call me Turgi.

I'm a husband and father, a researcher at heart, and a computer engineer by profession. I've always been fascinated by technology, and I have a particular love for robotics — hence, Turgibot.

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from the Open University of Israel and am currently pursuing a PhD focused on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. My research interests center around intelligent agents: how they understand their environment, reason about goals and plans, make decisions, and collaborate with humans and other agents.

My path combines academic research with hands-on engineering. Over the years, I've worked as a software engineer and technical lead, conducted and published peer-reviewed research, taught computer science and robotics, and built plenty of systems, prototypes, and experiments along the way.

Why Turgibot?

Turgibot is my personal space on the web — part portfolio, part research notebook, and part knowledge base.

It's where I document what I've learned, built, researched, taught, and achieved. You'll find finished projects and publications alongside technical notes, experiments, ideas, and subjects I'm still exploring.

I don't want the things I learn to disappear into old folders, repositories, papers, or forgotten notes. I want to build a growing, searchable record of my work and knowledge — and, whenever possible, make it useful to others too.

Some things here are finished. Others are still evolving.

That's the point. Turgibot is a record of the journey, not just the results.
