About Franklin Xavier
I’m a Robotics & AI Engineer with hands‑on expertise in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Perception, and Deep Learning. My research spans multi‑agent coordination with Graph Neural Networks and reinforcement learning, dynamic Visual SLAM pipelines (YOLO + scene‑flow + KL‑filtering), and LLM-driven task sequencing for manipulators. I’ve also built diffusion policy-based imitation learning systems and high-accuracy weather classifiers with ViTs.Skilled in ROS 1/2, Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Docker, AWS, and Azure, I design, deploy, and optimize end-to-end robotics solutions from sensor fusion to hyperspectral disease detection with PLS regression. Currently pursuing an MS in Robotics at UMN (GPA 3.9/4.0), I’m eager to apply my AI‑powered perception and planning capabilities to impactful robotics and autonomy roles.
