Sarvesh Venkatesan is a researcher at the University of Southern California who co-authored the ViBe framework, a post-training method for adapting humanoid motion trackers to perceptive whole-body control tasks. The work, presented with co-authors Lokesh Krishna, An Zhang, and Quan Nguyen, uses cross-attention extractors from pre-trained vision encoders combined with low-rank adapters for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. The research was noted in arXiv Physical AI contexts in September 2026.
