Anukriti Singh

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Prof. Pratap Tokekar in the RAAS Lab. My research sits at the intersection of perception and robot learning, with a focus on building manipulation and navigation systems that generalize in the real world. I'm especially interested in learning from rich supervision—video, language, demonstrations, and preference feedback—and using foundation-scale vision models to make policies and rewards more data-efficient and robust.

I previously completed my M.Eng. in Robotics at UMD and have interned at Nokia Bell Labs and PicsArt AI Research.
