Profile
Hi! I'm Yash Jangir
Graduate Student • Carnegie Mellon University

I'm a 2nd Year M.Sc Robotics Student at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Katerina Fragkiadaki and Prof. Yonatan Bisk . I am intrested in how robots can learn to act intelligently in diverse, real-world settings. My current research focuses on evaluating generalist robot policies. vision–language–action (VLA) models and real-to-sim alignment. I'm also interested in exploring how world dynamics and video-to-3D representations can help robots better understand and interact with the environments.

Before grad school, I was a Robotics Institute Summer Scholar (RISS) at CMU, where I worked with Prof. Sebastian Scherer and Prof. Junyi Geng on aerial manipulation and visual control. I also worked as a Robot Software Engineer at Clutterbot Robotics, developing efficient global relocalization methods for robots operating in unstructured environments with sparse maps. I completed my undergraduate studies at BITS Pilani, Goa.

I am always open to new ideas, collaborations or discussions (whatever it may be). Feel free to reach out! You can find my contact info, CV, and projects here, or visit my GitHub.
