Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDhruv Patel is a robotics and AI researcher and engineer with eight years of cross-sector experience spanning academic labs, industry research, and startups, currently completing an MS in Robotics at Georgia Tech. He specializes in robot learning, computer vision, and autonomous systems, with publications at CoRL 2024 and ICRA 2025 on cross-embodiment manipulation using egocentric human data. His work balances foundational research (robot learning from human demonstrations, SLAM, adverse-weather scene understanding) with production-minded engineering—contributions include multi-backend support for GradSLAM in Google Summer of Code and ML-focused enhancements to the Ivy framework. He has driven applied projects for Honda Research and SRA-level labs and led UAV-based automated inspection and high-performance semantic SLAM efforts that improved ICP convergence and mapping speed. Comfortable teaching and shipping software, he pairs hands-on coding across PyTorch/JAX/TensorFlow with systems thinking for real-world autonomy. Open to roles in ML, robotics, and computer vision, he brings a track record of turning research prototypes into deployable components.
