Hi [Vanakkam, Salut], I am Hari.
A First year PhD student at LAAS-CNRS, France and National Institute for Applied Sciences, Toulouse.
Currently, I am working on improving legibility in robot motion for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) under the supervision of Dr. Rachid Alami.
Earlier, I finished my MSc at the University of Lincoln, Uk under the supervision of Dr. Leonardo Guevara and Dr. Marc Hanheide. Prior to that, I completed B.Tech at SASTRA University, India. I also had a brief stint at Augur Ai (a startup based in Trichy, India) right after my Bachelors.
I am open to collaborations on Machine learning, Motion Planning, HRI, etc. (contact : harunachal@laas.fr)
