I build robots, control systems, and the software behind them. Recent work: a 15-DOF bipedal walker trained in simulation with RL and optimal control, a Raft-based distributed key-value store, a 12-state quadcopter attitude simulator, and computer-vision pipelines running in production.

About

I'm a third-year Engineering Science student at the University of Toronto, majoring in Robotics with an AI minor. I work across the stack a real robot needs: dynamics and control, learning, embedded software, and the data infrastructure around it. I like taking a problem from a physics model through to something that runs on hardware.

Open to Summer 2027 internships and research. shiv.s.kanade@gmail.com
