Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPankhuri Vanjani is a doctoral researcher at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology with eight years of hands-on experience building robot learning systems that fuse multimodal sensory data, diffusion policies, and human feedback. Her work sits at the intersection of multimodal reasoning, interactive learning, robustness, and explainability, applying advanced generative models to teach robots resilient skills. She brings a strong research-engineering pedigree from roles at DFKI, Max Planck, and NUS, and contributes practical robotics code—such as vision-based line-following algorithms in the JdeRobot RoboticsAcademy repository. Comfortable moving between SLAM, perception, and control, she pairs academic rigor with mentorship experience from several GSoC cycles. Based in Karlsruhe, she combines embedded-systems training and international research collaborations to translate learned priors into real-time robotic behavior.
