- Working under Prof. Eugenio Culurciello in e-Lab to develop an agent that can help users by answering questions or performing tasks given by them in indoor environments.- Conducting research on Large Visual Models, including fine-tuning, prompting, and instruction tuning to achieve optimal model performance.- It has various applications such as enabling the robot to remember objects it has seen and inform users of their locations. Additionally, it enhances robot navigation capabilities, enabling the robot to perform tasks such as moving to the kitchen and doing dishes upon user request.

- Worked with Prof. A. Qureshi in the Cognitive Robot Autonomy & Learning Lab (CoRAL Lab) to improve multi-robot motion planning capabilities. My work revolves around the Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm to efficiently rearrange objects into the desired goal locations while ensuring collision-free navigation for the multiple mobile robots. In addition to this, a strong emphasis is given to incorporating long horizon planning for moving objects within an efficient inference time while also achieving a 2x reduction in the search time.- Developed an efficient motion planner for OMPL that performs time aware collision checking for multi agent tasks.
