Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenny Shaw is a PhD student in Robotics and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University with 11 years of hands-on experience in robotics research and development. He focuses on dexterous manipulation and learning from human video under Prof. Deepak Pathak, and has a strong background in multi-agent systems, human-robot interaction, and safety from work at Georgia Tech and as a Robotics Institute Summer Scholar. Kenny combines practical systems skills—Unity3D, MATLAB, Robotarium simulations, OpenCV, and real-time control—with research rigor, contributing to frameworks like STRATA for heterogeneous robot team optimization. He’s bridged academia and applied projects from MentorPal’s NLP-driven interactive mentors to high-school robotics leadership, demonstrating an unusual blend of large-team simulation work and low-level control expertise. Based in Atlanta, he maintains an updated portfolio at kennyshaw.net that highlights both published research and toolchain implementations.
