Hi, I am Rishabh

About Me

I am a graduate student pursuing Masters in Mechatronics and Robotics at New York University.

My primary research interest lies at the intersection of Robotics and Perception.

I am a working as a Graduate Student Researcher at the Agile Robotics and Perception Laboratory headed by Prof. Giuseppe Loianno.

If our interests align, let's connect for mutual growth. For more information about my academic background, please take a look at my resume.

Agile Robotics and Perception Laboratory Sep 2023 - Present

Graduate Research Assistant Guide: Prof. Giuseppe Loianno

Developed a novel reactive collision avoidance framework integrating perception, planning, and control, improving real-time obstacle detection and response time for quadrotors at speeds up to 7.2 m/s in diverse environments.
Collaborated with the design team to optimize RACE platform, increasing flight time by 26% through firmware improvements, resulting in greater crash resilience and extended mission duration.
Authored and presented research combining nonlinear model predictive control and adaptive control barrier functions, refining RGB-D data with neural networks to enhance depth accuracy and improve real-time obstacle avoidance.

Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO), India May 2022 - Dec 2022

Undergraduate Research Intern Guide: Dr. Murali Krishna P. (Scientist F)

Developed a navigation pipeline designed to handle urban landscape complexities, which was rigorously tested across 15 different weather conditions and various maps, significantly enhancing overall system reliability.
Implemented PID controller and A* navigation algorithms to enable precise control and navigation for the vehicle.
Implemented YOLOv5 for pedestrian detection and achieved safe vehicle movement in 12 test cases of traffic situations avoiding collisions with pedestrians and vehicles.

IvLabs, India Jun 2020 - Aug 2020
