Vanshil Shah
I am a graduate student at University of Pennsylvania specializing in Robotics. I completed my undergraduation from Nirma University, India where I majored in Mechanical Engineering.
My research interest lies within the areas of robot navigation, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), computer vision and machine learning.
Previously,I was a research associate at Robert Bosch Center,Indian Institute of Science working on the problem of SLAM in dynamic environments. I also had the privilege to work at Robotics Research Center, IIIT-H with Professor Madhav Krishna on Autonomous Navigation.
