Hi! I’m Pravi Samaratunga, and I’m a graduate student at Boston University. My advisor is Dr. Sabrina Neuman at the Robomorphic Computing Laboratory
My current research interests include: - Collision detection and avoidance - Characterizing Sampling-Based motion planners for robotic arms - Applying EDGE einsum representations by Toluwa Odemuwiya to sampling-based motion planners
In my free time, I’m always doing some sort of insane project or other. Lately, I’ve been needle felting, sewing, leatherworking, and bookbinding, all of which are more interconnected than you’d think! I also enjoy cooking and chainmailing.
I have the kind of personality that’s always balancing far too many things, so feel free to ask me about them at any time. Please email me pravi [at] bu.edu. I also use the name PR4v1 sometimes (hence the URL), and RobotNerd277 on various platforms, such as Discord and Tumblr.
