Hey ya’ll !! I am Tejonidhi Raghunath Deshpande, a graduate student in Robotics at Georgia Institute of Technology advised by Dr. Josiah Hester.

My work focuses on making robots sustainable and energy-efficient by employing intelligent control strategies, developing innovative actuator mechanisms and creating the required firmware for successful deployment. I strongly believe that reinforment learning will play an important role in making the future of robotics more versatile, sustainable and robust.

I recently completed my Masters in Robotics (from Georgia Tech), where I was advised by Dr. Nader Sadegh. My masters capstone was based on robotic grasping and reinforcement learning. You can find a detailed description of the project in the paper linked here.
