I was a research intern at CLVR lab at KAIST for a year advised by Prof. Joseph Lim working on various topics in robot learning. I graduated from IIT Bombay with a major in Aerospace Engineering (honour student) and a minor in AI. During my undergrad, I was advised by Prof. Xianyuan Zhan and Prof. Biplab Banerjee at IIT Bombay and worked on algorithms for offline reinforcement learning.
I also led a student team that worked on autonomous drones đšī¸đ!
(memories with the team)
My goal is to develop robots đ¤ with human-like intelligence which includes embodying them with congnitive capabilities for understanding reality đ§ and physical interlligence to influence it đĻž. Specifically i am interested in:
- Learning robust sensorimotor skills (dexterous manipulation ,whole-body control, visuotactile manipulation)
- Adapting learned skills to new environments (rapid adaptation, continual learning)
- Composing skills for more complex tasks (skill-chaining, energy-based models)
