I am working towards my PhD in mechanical engineering with a focus on developing human-aware planning, learning and control algorithms inspired from behavioral decision making. I work in the intersection of control theory, behavioral economics, cognitive science, path planning, machine learning and optimization.

PhD Candidate
MURO Lab, UCSD
I have been co-managing a academic robotics laboratory and leading practical robotics projects along with mentoring undergraduate (around 20) and masters (2) students .  I have been leading teams of undergraduate students to design and develop UAV, UGV and HRI platforms inbuilt with cutting edge localization, mapping, planning and control algorithms. Additionally, I supervised a Master's thesis on Collision-free Task Assignment and Trajectory Planning for Multi-robot Systems.

Overall goal was to design a collaborative robotic exploration pipeline. First, I designed a novel path planner to perform robotic exploration. This planner uses RRT* based informative planning pipeline to plan paths in areas with uncertain risks and rewards catered to a specific risk perception profile. Next, I developed a novel information gain metric based on perceived uncertainty and integrated it with frontier-based exploration algorithms. The whole exploration pipeline was implemented on a ROS-Unity simulation environment using a Clearpath Husky Robot model to explore an unknown and uncertain indoor environment. This work will help create algorithms that can leverage rational and non-rational perception of uncertainty, risk and rewards to make better human-aware and risk-aware plans during exploration.

We are designing user studies to understand humans perceive risk and explore how robots can plan human-like paths in risky scenarios so that they are more socially acceptable in human-centered environments.
Towards improved Human-Aware navigation algorithms for Robots
We are designing controllers which guarantee safety considering non-rational perception of risk using tools from control theory, optimization, behavioral economics and online learning.
Safe control design for autonomous systems incorporating non-rational risk perception
We designed risk-perception-aware motion-planning strategies that incorporate non-rational perception of risks associated with uncertain spatial costs.
