About

I am a 5th year Ph.D. student with Prof. Bradley Hayes at CU Boulder. I am interested in solving real-world problems through technology. My thesis involves developing robotic systems that can assist people with visual impairments to perform daily tasks more independently by providing long-term and fine-grain guidance (https://shivendraagrawal.github.io/projects/).

Led research on context-aware assistive robotics for visually impaired individuals, developing a robotic cane system integrating Computer Vision, HRI, and AI for real-world navigation (social seating) and manipulation (grocery shopping).
Developed and evaluated novel algorithms for semantic localization (ShelfAware) and MDP-based manipulation guidance (ShelfHelp), resulting in peer-reviewed publications and national media features.
Enhanced Computer Science education through TA roles (Algorithms, Robotics, HCI), impactful course development (automation scripts, widely-viewed YouTube tutorial), and mentorship of 7 students (undergrad/Masters) leading to co-authored papers & successful placements.
