Academic Achievements
  • Published papers such as 'PIP-Loco: A Proprioceptive Infinite Horizon Planning Framework for Quadrupedal Robot Locomotion' and other works on quadruped robot control and planning.
Research Experience
  • Currently, I’m a Visiting Researcher at the ATARI Lab, Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI), TUM, working with Prof. Majid Khadiv on safe and optimal legged loco-manipulation problems; Was a Research Assistant at StochLab, Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber-Physical Systems, IISc Bangalore, working under Prof. Shishir N. Y. in collaboration with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO); Project Intern at IvLabs, VNIT Nagpur, worked as a summer intern under Dr. Shital S. Chiddarwar on an Auto Surveillance Mobile Robot.
Education
  • Pursuing a PhD in Cyber-Physical Systems (ongoing) at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore; B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, 2022 from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Nagpur.
Background
  • Since elementary school, I’ve been interested in math and physics. Thanks to my awesome research group led by Dr. Shital S. Chiddarwar during undergrad at VNIT Nagpur, I had the opportunity to explore different areas in robotics. After years of adventure, I realized that I enjoyed seeing my robots generate dynamic motions and studying the mathematical beauty of their nonlinear dynamics. This enjoyment has led me to my research interests in Motion Planning & Control.
Miscellany
  • Besides this, I like to spend my time drawing and looking at trees and clouds :)
