🎉 Excited to share that our paper Sketch-to-Skill is accepted to RSS 2025! Congratulations and huge thanks to my amazing collaborators Peihong Yu, @singhanukriti, @zahir_mahammad, and my advisor @PratapTokekar Let me walk you through it. 🧵👇 #RSS2025

I am excited to share that I will be joining Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, as an Assistant Professor in the College of Computing and Data Science starting Summer 2025! @NTUsg @NTU_ccds I am currently recruiting PhD students for Fall 2025. If you are interested in working on robot planning and learning, you can find more information here: lnkd.in/eVSZ4HfM Thank you for helping me spread the word! #PhDOpportunity #Robotics #NTUsg

Proud advisor again! I was fortunate to have Yoon as one of my first students. He’s a terrific researcher and a very nice person to work with. Highly encourage folks to apply to his group.

Proud advisor moment! @guangyao_shi's dissertation was selected as a finalist for the Best Dissertation award by the IEEE TC on Multi-Robot Systems @ieee_ras_mrs! Check out his dissertation on coordination and learning algorithms for multi-robot systems. @eceumd @UMDResearch

Congratulations @guangyao_shi from all of us @uscresl @CSatUSC @USCAdvComputing and @USCViterbi !! And congratulations to you to @ptokekar

Current students. Former students. Former student’s current student. Former student’s former student. #ISRR2024 in Long Beach! @amishabhaskar @lfzhou917 @guangyao_shi @zahir_mahammad

Excited to be at #ISRR in Long Beach this week! I'll be presenting my paper, PLANRL, on Dec 10th at 10 AM. Excited to share insights from my work, learn from others, and connect with the amazing robotics community. See you there! #ISRR2024 #RoboticsResearch

Happening today: @troidre will present at the IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics @ieeeSSRR Paper: When to Localize? A POMDP Approach with Kasra Torshizi and @ptokekar Nov 13, Session 2, 9AM

For your Friday commute... I had a great time chatting about our research on the @RobotTalkPod! All the links below..

Last week, I presented my work on LAVA (Long-horizon Visual Action-based food acquisition) at #IROS2024 in Abu Dhabi! Great discussions on robotic manipulation with amazing researchers.
