Pranav Atreya

Hello! I’m a first year PhD student in CS at UC Berkeley, where I am advised by Prof. Sergey Levine. I am graciously supported in part by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I recently graduated with my BS in Computer Science at UT Austin, where I was a member of the Turing Scholars and Dean’s Scholars Honors programs. At UT I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Joydeep Biswas, Prof. Eunsol Choi, and Prof. Yuke Zhu.

We devise Optim-FKD, a new paradigm for accurate, high speed control of a robot using a learned forward kinodynamic model and non-linear least squares optimization.

In this work we learn a visual inverse kinodynamic model conditioned on image patches of the terrain ahead to better enable high-speed navigation on multiple different terrains.

State Supervised Steering Function for Sampling-based Kinodynamic Planning
Pranav Atreya, Joydeep Biswas
AAMAS, 2022

Optimal sampling-based motion planning algorithms when applied to kinodynamic planning make a trade off between computational efficiency and solution quality. With S3F we demonstrate that both are attainable by proposing a new way to learn the steering function required by these sampling-based planners.
