Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKushagra Srivastava is a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in vision-based autonomy and robotics, currently building autonomous collaborative robots at Burro to tackle labor shortages in agriculture. With an MS in Robotics from WPI and four years of hands-on experience, he has developed real-time perception and navigation systems for palm-sized drones and UAVs used in wire and civil-structure inspection. His work spans cutting-edge 3D Gaussian Splatting, NeRF-initialized models, and transformer-based change detection for temporally evolving scenes, enabling zero-shot relocalization and local model updates. Previously he delivered a camera-only construction site inspection stack and contributed to pedagogy for aerial autonomy via VizFlyt, demonstrating novel view synthesis at 100 Hz. He combines strong academic results and publications with practical deployed systems—from a service robot used in hospitals to production-ready agricultural robots—revealing a knack for turning advanced research into applied, robust solutions. Notably, he leverages memory-bank and attention techniques to improve detection in adverse weather, increasing mAP significantly in benchmark evaluations.
