Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArpit Agarwal is a robotics engineer with 11 years of experience, currently advancing compute acceleration and robot manipulation at Dexterity after a PhD from Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. His work blends tactile sensing, vision, control, reinforcement learning and sim-to-real systems—skills honed through long-term research at CMU and industry R&D stints at NVIDIA and Intel. He has a strong background in graphics-driven simulation and physics-based rendering for ML, enabling robust policy transfer from simulator to hardware. Based in San Francisco, he combines deep academic research with practical engineering to deliver fine-grained manipulation capabilities, and often bridges ideas from graphics and control that aren’t obvious from job titles alone.
