About

I’m Tejus, a Master’s student at the Robotics Institute, CMU. I work at the AART lab with Prof. Katia Sycara at CMU. I am currently working on intent recognition, trajectory prediction, and assistance for human teams in disaster search & rescue, as part of the DARPA ASIST program.

My research interests lie at the intersection of planning, reinforcement learning, and intent recognition. I’d like to develop robots that can reliably operate in complex environments, and can learn from and assist humans.

Before this, I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at IIT Kharagpur in 2019. I worked at the Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV) Research Group at IIT Kharagpur. I worked on the perception and planning modules; I developed algorithms for lane detection and helped in implementing path planning algorithms for our lab’s test vehicles.

I’m was previously an active contributor and maintainer of JuliaImages, a popular computer vision library in Julia. I developed the ImageSegmentation package as my GSoC project.
