Hello! I’m a robotics researcher at Toyota Research Institute (TRI) with interests spanning the domains of machine learning, robot control, and extended reality. At the intersection of these interests is my overarching goal to establish effective human-robot interactions where people live and work.
Highlights
- April 2026 — TRI’s empirical study on Large Behavior Models (LBMs) made it to the cover page of Science Robotics.
- August 2025 — Check out our blog post on “Large Behavior Models and Atlas Find New Footing”, which is a product of the collaboration between TRI and Boston Dynamics that I have been fortunate to work on!
- July 2025 — The LBM team’s work on “A Careful Examination of Large Behavior Models for Multitask Dexterous Manipulation” has been released!
- June 2025 — Our paper on “Chance-Constrained Convex MPC for Robust Quadruped Locomotion Under Parametric and Additive Uncertainties” was accepted for publication in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters
- May 2025 — Our paper on “Data-Driven Sampling Based Stochastic MPC for Skid-Steer Mobile Robot Navigation” was presented at ICRA 2025
- Jan & April 2025 — Two of my robotics software articles on “robot_collision_checking: A Lightweight ROS 2 Interface to FCL (Flexible Collision Library)” and “constrained_manipulability: A ROS 2 library to Compute and Visualize Constrained Capacities for Robotic Manipulators” were published in the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS)
- October 2024 — Our paper on “User-customizable Shared Control for Robot Teleoperation via Virtual Reality” was presented at IROS 2024
- May 2024 — Our paper on “A Probabilistic Motion Model for Skid-Steer Wheeled Mobile Robot Navigation on Off-Road Terrains” was presented at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2024)
