Lokesh Krishna

Lokesh Krishna is a PhD student in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California, where he is affiliated with the Dynamic Robotics and Control Laboratory under the advisement of Quan Nguyen. His research focuses on synthesizing agile multi-mode robot control for legged locomotion and loco-manipulation, leveraging reinforcement learning and optimal control guided by control theory principles. He is known for his work on robust bipedal walking with linear policies, multimodal bipedal locomotion, and oracle-guided multi-mode policies for dynamic robot control.
