Daksh Adhar

Daksh Adhar is a graduate student in the MS in Robotic Systems Development program at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). He completed his undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G), where he worked on learning-based control and sim-to-real transfer for dexterous bionic manipulation. His interests center on embodied learning systems, with a focus on manipulation, humanoids, and deploying learning-based controllers on real hardware. At CMU, he recently completed an industry-sponsored capstone project with Smith&Nephew on AR-assisted robotic total knee arthroplasty, focused on improving surgical accuracy through perception, motion planning, and augmented reality integration. His long-term vision includes advancing humanoid robotics and rehabilitation technologies, with the ultimate goal of establishing his own robotics firm in India.
