Mayank Mittal
Mayank Mittal is a PhD student at ETH Zurich, advised by Marco Hutter, and a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA. He is the primary developer of NVIDIA Isaac Lab, a GPU-accelerated simulation framework for multi-modal robot learning, and previously led the development of ORBIT, a unified simulation framework for interactive robot learning environments. His research focuses on whole-body control for mobile manipulation, reinforcement learning for contact-rich tasks, and integrating perception with control for adaptive robot behaviors.
