Senior🎓
Top SchoolYorai Shaoul is a robotics PhD student and graduate researcher at Carnegie Mellon with eight years of hands-on experience building perception, planning, and multi-robot systems for real-world autonomy. He combines rigorous algorithm design with practical C++ implementations, blending data-driven learning with classical task-and-motion planning to enable multi-arm manipulation and multi-robot coordination. His background spans aerial and ground platforms, from developing range-visual-inertial localization and trajectory optimization to generative models for multi-robot collaboration at Amazon. Comfortable in embedded hardware, ROS, and deep learning stacks, he has a track record of moving research into deployed systems and informing product decisions with data-driven analyses. Influenced by MIT training and a taste for literary wit, he brings an experimental mindset that seeks both theoretical guarantees and pragmatic robustness in human environments.
