Stavan Dholakia works at the intersection of robotics and AI infrastructure, where physical autonomy meets the compute
systems that power it. His work spans edge AI, perception, VIO/SLAM, manipulation safety, large-scale robotics deployment,
and cloud infrastructure for AI workloads. His current independent work includes underwater robotics for autonomous
inspection, survey, and search-and-rescue. He holds 12 U.S. patents in robotics and machine learning, and his independent
research focuses on robot perception, safe autonomy, SLAM benchmarking, and embodied AI evaluation.
