Amrit Srivastava

About

Undergraduate AI/robotics research assistant who built a city-scale robotics simulation stack for embodied question answering, including JSON-driven environment generation and a ROS 2 pipeline bridging Isaac Sim sensors (CV/LiDAR) to external ML/RL algorithms. Also created and deployed an open-source library workflow tool adopted across multiple local libraries, using GitHub Actions CI/CD for signed releases and automated updates.

Key Strengths

• Architected city-scale, modular simulation environments generated from JSON (7+ test environments)
• Built end-to-end ROS 2 integration for simulated robots (sensor publishers/subscribers, launch/params, namespaces/remapping)
• Programmatic Isaac Sim environment setup and plugin-based sensor/ROS 2 publishing
• Systematic real-time debugging approach (minimal reproducible example, isolate variables, root-cause to normalization bug)
• Designed scalable multi-robot communication patterns using ROS 2 topics/services/actions with standardized interfaces
• Shipped and maintained a widely adopted library tool with automated CI/CD via GitHub Actions
