Persona AI — Locomotion Team
CO-OP as a software engineering intern working on industrial humanoid robotics (Humanoid Locomtion)
Overview
In Pensacola, Florida I work as a Software Engineering Intern under Virginia Tech Graduate the awesome Dr. Herron. As apart of the locomotion team I try to leverage my past experiences and knoweledge in Hardware to improve the locomotion of our Robots. Whether that be trying to close the sim2real gap or leveraging accomodating Reinforcement Learning techniques on the control side.
What I worked on (so far)
- Developed techniques and software tools to reduce the sim-to-real gap between simulation and deployed humanoid robotic systems through hardware parameter estimation.
- Developed experimental reinforcement learning policies to improve humanoid locomotion using the NVIDIA Isaac stack, MuJoCo, and physical hardware test platforms, leveraging techniques such as domain randomization and curriculum learning.
- Led daily diagnostic testing and debugging efforts to maintain reliable testing platforms, including robot disassembly, reassembly, and coordination with technician teams.
- Coordinated across teams and locations to bridge low-level and high-level control systems on humanoid platforms through hardware and software integration knowledge.
