Summary
Azarakhsh Keipour is a robotics founder and Ph.D. graduate from Carnegie Mellon with 11 years of experience translating academic research in perception, dynamics, and control for aerial robots into applied work on perception, learning, and manipulation for ground manipulators. He has applied his research at scale as an Applied Scientist at Amazon Robotics and Robotics AI, and spent focused residencies at X and Intrinsic bridging moonshot research with product-driven engineering. Now leading a stealth-mode social startup in the DMV, he combines deep technical expertise in robot perception with hands-on product building and AI-driven community design. Known for moving between theory and implementation, he brings rare fluency across hardware, control, and learning systems informed by both academic rigor and production robotics.
