Prajwal Vijay

I am a 3rd year Electrical Engineering undergraduate at IIT Madras, with research interests in Robot Learning, Manipulation, Control Systems, and Multi-Agent Systems.

Currently, I am collaborating with the Personal Robotics Lab at the University of Washington (Professor Siddhartha Srinivasa) on multi-modal data extraction for robotics, and developing a geometry-adaptive engagement algorithm for perimeter defence at IISc's AIRL Lab (Professor Suresh Sundaram).

My current interests are centered around:

  1. robot learning and embodied AI for real-world systems;
  2. robotic foundation models and multi-modal trajectory understanding;
  3. robot manipulation
  4. control systems and multi-agent systems;

Long-term, I hope to build a venture in Robotics and Embodied AI, with a particular curiosity for space robotics.

Previously, I contributed to the Colosseum V2 benchmark for VLA generalization at USC with Professor Gaurav Sukhatme, researched Multi-Player Reach-Avoid Differential Games at IIT Madras with Professor Bharath Bhikkaji, and worked on Inverse Kinematics and Autonomy with Team Anveshak, IIT Madras's Mars Rover team.
