Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAditya Agarwal is a PhD student at MIT CSAIL working in the Embodied Intelligence group, focused on building general-purpose robots that integrate perception, representation learning, and real-world manipulation. With 11 years of experience spanning research and industry, he’s combined internships and research stints at Mila, Autodesk, and Microsoft to ship scalable AI systems—from Bing’s People Also Ask and a federated healthcare pipeline to semantic 3D representations for robotics. His academic path through IIIT Hyderabad and PES University blends computer vision, speech, and robotics, and he’s advised by leaders like Leslie Kaelbling, Tomas Lozano-Perez, Liam Paull, and Florian Shkurti. Notably, he scaled educational platforms at Microsoft from thousands to millions of users and has applied that production engineering rigor to robotics perception and foundation-model work for automated assembly. Curious and contrarian by motto, he also shares thoughts publicly and maintains a research-oriented personal website.
