Sudarshan Harithas

Dept. of Computer Science Brown University.

I’m a third-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University, advised by Prof. Srinath Sridhar. Previously, I graduated from the International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT-H) with an MS in Computer Science, where I worked with Prof. K Madhava Krishna.

Broadly, I am interested in developing general purpose robots that can actively interact with the world and perform a diverse range of tasks. Towards this goal I intend to develop cross-embodied policies that enable autonomous robots to acquire complex behaviors by jointly learning from their own experiences as well as from multiple other embodiments.
