Hey, I'm Ben! πŸ‘‹

I'm a robotics & controls engineer interested in:

  • Reinforcement learning
  • Physics simulation and world models
  • Control theory
  • Optimization

By day, I work on autonomous vehicles at Kodiak AI. By night, I maintain TorchRL, PyTorch's official reinforcement learning library.

Here's an example of what I do: look at these driverless trucks running my code, operating autonomously 24/7 with nobody in the cab! image

Read more about these trucks here.

πŸš€ Projects

  • AMSwarm 2.0: An ultra-fast drone swarm trajectory planning algorithm written in C++ with Python bindings
  • πŸ₯‰ 3rd place in Mistral x Hugging Face Robotics Hackathon 2025 with a bimanual robotic system that interprets natural language instruction and packs your bag for you:

🌍 Open Source Contributions

They say the best way to learn software is by contributing to open-source projects. Here are some contributions I'm proud of:

pytorch/rl

  • State-of-the-art RL algorithm implementations (Link)
  • A more advanced and flexible optimization API for the RL trainer ecosystem (Link)
  • Auto-configuration of exploration module specs from RL environments (Link)
  • Various small improvements, such as:
    • MPS compatibility fixes e.g. 1, 2
    • config classes, e.g. TanhModule and TensorDictSequential

πŸ€— LeRobot

  • Support for external plugins for simulation environments (1, 2)

πŸ“š Bio

  • BASc Mechanical Engineering @ University of Toronto
  • MSc Robotics, Systems & Control @ ETH Zurich
