Hi Hello.
I am a Ph.D. student in robotics.
I aim to create algorithms that endow robots with the ability to operate autonomously with and for their human partners. My research interests lie at the intersection of planning and perception for robotics, driven by geometry and multimodal learning from data. I am broadly interested in estimation problems, machine learning, and inference, in micro-aerial, ground, and manipulation domains.
I spend most of my time at the lab or on the track a bicycle– here’s me trying to jump far:

Recent projects:
Robot Tello Drone = Botello.
Botello is here! Kinda, at least. My goal with this project is to create a robotic drone that would provide a foundation for later experimentation. Generally, take a look at the GitHub repo if you’re curious! It will be up to date. https://github.com/yoraish/botello
A Full Autonomous Stack, a Tutorial | ROS + Raspberry Pi + Arduino + SLAM
UPDATED September 2021: This guide is a walkthrough for setting up an autonomous ROS stack on a Raspberry Pi. Teleoperation, mapping, localization, and navigation are all covered!
DELSE: Deforming Ellipsoids for object Shape Estimation
It is often important for robots to know the location and shape of objects. However, this task can be a bit tricky! Many times robots can only obtain partial observations due to self-occlusions or occlusions in the scene. In this project (which is approximately equivalent to half of an undergraduate senior- year research project, with…
