Nikhil Mishranikhilmishra000@gmail.com I am a research scientist at Amazon, where I work on foundation models for robotics that span vision, language, and manipulation. Before that, I was a founding research scientist at Covariant, a startup developing AI for robotics that was reverse-acquihired by Amazon. While working at Covariant, I did my PhD at UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Pieter Abbeel. Before that, I also spent time at OpenAI and Google Brain. |
