Physical AI Engineer · IIT Patna

I work on physical AI — robot policies, vision-language-action models and world models. I came to it by building the robots: a drone that lands on three rotors, a robot that drives to a spoken goal, competition basketball robots.

In the field

Real test and match footage, cut into one reel.

Thirty-eight seconds across every project — cut from the real test and match footage.
The shooter’s CAD in MuJoCo: a physics-simulated three-point shot, before metal was cut.
Every deck is 3D-printed: motor clamps, chassis, power bank holder, Pi deck, LIDAR level.
Flight tests on the IIT Patna campus.

How I split a robot

Fast at the bottom, thoughtful at the top, and an explicit contract between them — so a slow model can never stall a motor.

Three tiers: Operator on the robot, Tactician arbitrating control, Strategist planning off the critical path.
