Abhir Karande

Hello there! I'm Abhir. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Virginia School of Engineering (UVa) , where I obtained my Bachelor's in Computer Science . My studies, work, and interests in the areas of computing and electronics are driven by my desire to enable machines to seamlessly collaborate with us humans.

I plan to pursue research in curating generalizable robotic action, interactive perception, and robust manipulative robotics as I am quite fascinated in translating the sensorimotor principles and proprioception that we humans have to robots and applying it to manipulative tasks in situations where relevant information is not known apriori.

I also have a broader interest in exploring the capabilities of digital intelligence and how close it can come to human intelligence. I hope to release some blog articles soon exploring this and related topics and giving my own takes!

Aside from technology and work, I have several other passions including classical guitar, jiu-jitsu, climbing, and photography/videography.

More recently, I have been exploring regenerative agriculture. I take a lot of care in the sourcing of the food I eat and am interested in how we can leverage farming and ranching techniques to improve the quality of our soil.
