Anant Garg

Currently working as a AI researcher at 10x Construction.ai. Developing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language Action Models (VLAs) to enable robots to execute drywall construction tasks autonomously.

Previously I have worked as a research assistant at Robotics Research Center (RRC), IIIT-Hyderabad primarly advised by Prof. K. Madhava Krishna and Prof. Arun Singh of University of Tartu, Estonia. Also exploring skill learning for robots and general world models for generalizable Reinforcement Learning tasks.

Research Interests: Unsupervised Reinforcement Learning | Robot Learning | Representation Learning
