Constructed a probabilistic method to fuse Kinect depth data and whole-body onboard proximity sensor data for robot manipulators. Work accepted at Proximity Perception @ IROS 2021. Also invited to the PhD forum for the workshop -- the only undergraduate student invited.Defended an Undergraduate Thesis on Enabling Close-Proximity Human-Robot Interaction.Developed a framework for robotic manipulators to prepare for contact via implicit anticipation. Work accepted at IROS 2021.Developed a robotic skin calibration algorithm for robotic manipulators, outperforming current best methods by 6 times. Work accepted at IROS 2021.Sped up learning by a rate of four times on complex hierarchical RL environments.Implemented, from scratch, ROS-based Franka Panda Cartesian pose controller with Track Inverse Kinematics and Catmull-Rom Splines for smooth motion. Developed a common robot control library with a Python interface for the Franka Panda and Sawyer robot (simulation and physical).
