Biography

I am a PhD Candidate and Graduate Research Assistant at IIIT Delhi, specializing in Robotics, Haptic Bilateral Control, and Digital Twins. My research focuses on developing low-latency teleoperation loops that bridge the human-robot communication gap using immersive interface solutions and real-time state estimations.

By integrating embedded sensor networks with high-fidelity physical models and computer vision pipelines, I seek to design intuitive control frameworks that allow human operators to interact with cyber-physical systems as seamlessly as with real-world objects.

Currently conducting research at the IIITD Robotics Laboratory, I collaborate with industrial partners under the IRAS HUB and CET&DM centers to transfer model-free reinforcement learning locomotion gaits to quadruped robots operating in unstructured real-world environments.
