Austin Patel

I'm a PhD student at Stanford University conducting robotics and embodied AI research in the REAL lab with Professor Shuran Song. I'm fortunate to have my research supported by the NSF GRFP.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. During my undergrad, I conducted computer vision research in BAIR with Ilija Radosavovic and Professor Jitendra Malik. I also was part of the Berkeley Autonomous Microsystems Lab where I researched micro-robotics with Alex Moreno and Professor Kristofer Pister.

We train an embodiment-aware policy capable of zero-shot control of unseen hand designs using a single set of network weights.

We extract 4D hand-object trajectories from internet videos and train robots to imitate the reconstructed object motions.

We create a microrobot with a MEMS gripper, microprocessor/crystal-free radio, and solar cell capable of grasping tiny objects via remote control.

We create a wireless sensing node with microprocessor/crystal-free radio and solar cell that's capable of dynamically correcting its radio oscillator with temperature changes.
