Yorai Shaoul

I used to jump. And was actually decent at it.

Hi hello!

I am Ph.D. Student at The Robotics Institute , Carnegie Mellon University. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Maxim Likhachev , and Professor Jiaoyang Li . We currently work on planning and learning in multi-agent settings.

Previously, I was at MIT working in CSAIL at Nicholas Roy’s Robust Robotics Group , and I was fortunate to ~~play with robots~~ spend time at Indoor Robotics, Amazon Robotics, and Optimus Ride.
