Hey, I'm Udit Ekansh - a graduate student in Autonomy at Purdue University, USA!

I thrive on solving complex challenges in robotics and autonomy. If you’re in the Greater Lafayette area, let's get coffee!

✅Currently open to opportunities in Robotics, Autonomy, and Physical AI.

⭐ About

I am a Master’s student in Autonomy at Purdue University’s Institute for Control, Optimization, and Networks (ICON) . My current research with Professor Rohan Paleja focuses on cognitive modeling and Learning from Demonstration for assistive robotics. Previously, I worked with Professor Yan Gu on assistive humanoid control, and with Professor Ziran Wang on multi-agent autonomous driving using V2V communication. I am actively seeking full-time opportunities in robotics, autonomy, and physical AI, with a focus on building reliable systems that operate in dynamic, human-in-the-loop environments.
