Developing intelligent bipedal robots and autonomous systems through cutting-edge AI and reinforcement learning
Passionate researcher bridging classical control and modern AI
I'm an AI and Robotics Engineer currently pursuing my M.Tech(R) at IIT Mandi, specializing in the Design, Simulation, and Development of Bipedal Robots. With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and hands-on experience in robotics, I'm dedicated to pushing the boundaries of autonomous systems and reinforcement learning-based control.
My research focuses on developing multi-skill locomotion capabilities for underactuated bipedal robots using advanced reinforcement learning techniques. I'm particularly interested in bridging the gap between classical control theory and modern machine learning approaches to create more robust and adaptive robotic systems.
