Keshav Mohta

I am an undergraduate in the Jerome Fisher M&T Program at Penn, studying Electrical Engineering and Statistics.

I want to build robots that understand the world around them and act in it on their own. My goal is to use physical systems to provide real value to people's lives.

At Penn I work on the RoboRacer (formerly F1Tenth) in xLAB with Professor Rahul Mangharam, and I founded the RoboRacer @ Penn Club. This past summer at Scout Robotics I worked on autonomous rail inspection, fine-tuning foundation models, building custom architectures, and writing geometric post-processing for segmentation and object detection tasks. I also built Penn Degree Planner, which is being rolled out to Penn students.

I have built robots since 2017. I captained FRC Team 7539 and won the 2022 World Robot Olympiad.
