Headshot of Professor Yash Vardhan Pant

Professor Yash Vardhan Pant is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, where he leads the Control, Learning and Logic (CL2) group. Pant and the CL2 group focus on decision-making for multi-agent and autonomous systems, drawing on elements of Control Theory, Machine Learning, Formal Methods and Optimization and finding application to ground robots, human-robot interaction and swarms of aerial robots.

At the RoboHub, Pant and his group will employ the QDrones to test and develop multi-agent coordination algorithms, as well as for generating data under different operating conditions to support projects on data-driven modeling of aerial robots for computationally lightweight simulations. The team will also use the QBots to develop data-driven models for human-robot interaction.

In addition to these efforts, Pant and his group will also leverage RoboHub's motion-capture system to test the best-case (ideal perception and localization) performance of algorithms being developed for autonomous racing, tested on theÌý±è±ô²¹³Ù´Ú´Ç°ù³¾.
