Yash Jangir

Hi, my name is Yash Jangir, and I am studying Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani. I am excited to be part of this year’s RISS cohort. I am primarily interested in the Controls, Navigation, and State estimation in aerial robotics, but I also want to develop a deep understanding of the field. I aspire to attend graduate school and continue research in robotics. I have previous experience working with Vision-based Navigation and controls for aerial vehicles. I have also worked on optimal and classical control for robotic manipulators. This summer, I am honored to be working under the mentorship of Prof. Sebastian Scherer and Dr. Junyi Geng at the Air Lab. I will be working in the area of Visual Servoing for Aerial Manipulation using Fully-actuated Multirotor UAVs. I look forward to making meaningful contributions to the ongoing research in the Lab and gaining research experience in robotics. I want to thank Prof. Sebastian Scherer, Dr. Junyi Geng, and the RISS community for this outstanding opportunity and the sponsors for making this precious experience possible.
