Selected Projects

From humanoid VLA policies and quadruped navigation to GPS-denied drone autonomy — a selection of robotics & Physical AI work.

MoonBot — YC Robotics Hackathon (w/ Innate)

An edge-first autonomous robot for inspection & intervention in space-like environments. AprilTag localization plus an ACT imitation policy mapping perception directly to action.

TalOS Robotics AI — Physical AI for Humanoids

Co-founding a humanoid & legged-robotics startup advancing VLA policies and an MCP app for training, deploying, and steering robots through human feedback.

Go2 Autonomous Navigation — Learned Nonlinear MPC

Learning nonlinear MPC cost weights via Bayesian Optimization for robust quadruped navigation, deployed on a Unitree Go2. First-author IEEE ICRA 2026 Workshop paper.

Histopathology Image Classification — 4th / 170

Transfer learning with a RetCCL-pretrained ResNet-50 for molecular-structure classification in tissue images. Ranked 4th of 170 teams on a hidden test set.

Drone trajectory planning

This project develops and implements an MPC based local path planning algorithms to enhance the autonomous navigation capabilities of mobile robots
