Very honored and humbled to receive the 2026 IROS Toshio Fukuda Young Professional Award! 🏆🤖
Grateful to all the students, collaborators, and mentors who have been part of this journey; and to the robotics community that has made it such a fun one.
Thank you, IROS! 🙏

Thrilled to share that I've received an NSF CAREER Award for "Dual-Axis Continual Learning for Adaptive Mobile Manipulation Skills in Household Environments"! Grateful to my students, mentors, and collaborators, and excited to build robots that learn without starting over. 🤖🎉

Another step in our lab's Oopsie- line of research: after OopsieVerse (our simulator with damage aware capabilities) we now focus on failures in the real world. I'm excited call-for-contributions to OopsieData, the first large dataset of robot failures! This has the potential to be a game-changer for safety in robotics. Please, consider contributing

Really excited for this initiative!
Failure data is becoming very useful, and the best part, every robot lab collects them; they're just rarely shared. OopsieData aims to change that by pooling real-world robot failures across labs, making a collective dataset for all to use! 👇

Do you want to develop SAFE robots?
Today, we release OopsieVerse, our simulation framework that let you know how much damage is done in real time. Multiple damage sources: mechanical, thermal, liquid 🦾🔥💧... And many ways to use it: for control, RL, IL, VLAs... Including 32 new tasks + access/integration with Robocasa/Mujoco and B1K/Omniverse. Amazing work by @ArpitBahety, Arnav and the team to be presented at #RSS2026

This is a normal day in our lab, but don't tell our advisor! Simulation provides a way to avoid such expensive behaviors, but the consequences of actions, like fluid damage or breakage, aren't observable in sim, making it hard to train and evaluate robot policies for safety.

I'll be giving two talks at ICRA today: 2:30pm on "Frugal Imitation Learning" (beyond telop workshop) and on 5:30pm on "Closing the Understanding Gap Between Humans and Robots" (robot learning + HRI). Come visit!
