Competitions
Samsung EnnovateX AX Hackathon
Top 6 FinalistObjective: Develop a Vision Language Action model for natural-language object manipulation in robotic environments
- Coupled a fine-tuned pi0-FAST action policy with a deterministic spatial grounder and symbolic planner
- Segmented LIBERO demonstrations into distinct subgoal phases using gripper open/close transitions
- Fine-tuned pi0-FAST with LoRA so the symbolic planner could direct the low-level policy through subgoals
- Achieved 92% and 82% success on Libero Spatial and Libero Long across 50 evaluation runs
Inter IIT Tech Meet 14.0
Silver MedalistObjective: Build a remote sensing multimodal chatbot for captioning, grounding, and VQA on satellite imagery
- Developed TRINETRA, orchestrating fine-tuned Qwen3VL, YOLO, SAM 2.1/3, and RemoteCLIP through a LLaMA 3.1 guide model
- Created GeoMeasure by combining fine-tuned SAM 2.1, SAM 3, and RemoteCLIP for robust numerical VQA
- Optimized a Tri-YOLO ensemble to normalize scale variance and support VLM grounding queries
- Surpassed baselines by 39% on grounding and 18% on numeric VQA with under 10s inference latency on an A100 GPU
