Parv Maheshwari

Hello, my name is Parv Maheshwari and I am currently pursuing an Integrated Masters course at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. I am majoring in Mathematics and Computing. My major research interest lies in motion control and path planning of autonomous ground vehicles. I have been working on the same for more than two years now. I am very excited to participate in the RISS program this summer and have the opportunity to work under distinguished researchers in the field of robotics. This summer, I will be working under Dr. Wenshan Wang and Dr. Sebastian Scherer at AirLab. Our project will primarily focus on improving the robustness of autonomous off-road driving by replacing classical vehicle models by a neural network and field testing our algorithms for real-time performance in off-road environments. I hope to contribute to research that will improve the robustness of autonomous off-road driving. I would like to thank my mentors, the RISS sponsors partners as well as the AirLab for this wonderful opportunity
