PhD Candidate @IRVLUTD @UT_Dallas. Research focus on Autonomous Mobile Manipulation.
Previously at @VecrosTech, @iitdelhi, @STL_Tech, @warangal_nitsaihaneeshallu.github.io Dallas, TXJoined July 2024
We @IRVLUTD had some visitors today: the FTC robotics team from Flower Mound High School. We showed several demos:
• Mobile manipulation Fetch
• Teleoperation SO-101 and Koch
• In-hand manipulation LEAP
Exciting to see how curious and engaged they are🤖 #STEM#Robotics
Thrilled to share our work ReWiND has been accepted at CoRL 2025 🎉 It will be the first oral talk on Sunday at 9AM KST — you won’t want to miss it!
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to travel to Korea in person, but @Jesse_Y_Zhang and @_abraranwar will be presenting our work.

i’m happy to present chessbot.
a robot that can move your chess piece from place to place.
we built this in under 24 hours at the @LeRobotHF hackathon.
here’s a quick demo!
Imitation learning has a data scarcity problem.
Introducing EgoDex from Apple, the largest and most diverse dataset of dexterous human manipulation to date — 829 hours of egocentric video + paired 3D hand poses across 194 tasks.

Finished writing the reports for 6 #IROS2025 submissions. Thanks to the reviewers who accepted my invitations!
ICRA and IROS have relatively long review cycles and lack a rebuttal stage — a point worth considering for the robotics community @ieeeras
In my past research experience, finding or developing an appropriate simulation environment, dataset, and benchmark has always been a challenge. Missing features, limited support, or unexpected bugs often occupied my days and nights. Moreover, current simulation platforms are…
Can we build a generalist robotic policy that doesn’t just memorize training data and regurgitate it during test time, but instead remembers past actions as memory and conditions its decisions on them?🤖💡
Introducing SAM2Act—a multi-view robotic transformer-based policy that…
Honk if you ❤️ American drones!
The Skydio Dock for X10 Roadshow is bringing autonomous Drone as First Responder capabilities to public safety agencies nationwide. After debuting at #AxonWeek25 in PHX, we’re eastbound to ATL. 🇺🇸
📍 Where should we go next?
Happy to share our new work on Navigation World Models! 🔥🔥
Navigation is a fundamental skill of agents with visual-motor capabilities. We train a single World Model across multiple environments and diverse agent data.
w/ @GaoyueZhou, Danny Tran, @trevordarrell and @ylecun.
Thanks Steven Palma! We will update the README to highlight the 3 versions of LeKiwi:
- cables only (no battery)
- remote control with RaspberryPi (inference done on laptop)
- on-board compute with Jetson Nano
