Aadi Shah

I'm an undergrad at Stanford studying computer science and philosophy. I'm interested in pre-training and continual learning for robot foundation models at the Stanford AI Lab, where I'm part of the IRIS group advised by Chelsea Finn. I previously spent a summer at Google working on Gemini Enterprise for CX.

projects

  • Crate-stacking robot arm
    A pixel robot arm driven by a PPO policy I trained, running live in the browser.
  • Predator–Prey Simulator
    A C++ simulation where predator and prey agents are driven by neural networks evolved over generations, so hunting and evasion emerge from selection alone.
