Research Interests

My research interests can broadly be categorized as follows:

  • Foundational Models (LLMs / VLMs): Leveraging LLMs / VLMs to improve sample efficiency of RL agents and embodied robotic agents.

  • Neurosymbolic AI: Using temporal logical specifications and planning domains to improve learning progress of RL agents.

  • Curriculum Learning for RL: Coming up with efficient representations to break down complex RL task into simpler sequenatial and graphical task representations that improve the learning progress of RL agents.

  • CV and Robotics: Understanding and analyzing human intent using CV (Images, Videos, Depth) and natural language for efficient human-robot collaboration.

  • Sim2Real Transfer: Transferring RL policies from Simulated environments to Physical robotic settings

Most applications of my work are directed toward Robotics and Robot Learning.
