I'm Krishna Dubey, a Computer Engineering senior at UIUC focused on vision-based drone autonomy and reliable robotics. My interests lie in applying machine learning and deep learning to build perception and control systems that turn camera data into safe, high-performance flight. My work is driven by a core question: how can we design deep learning-enabled autonomous controllers that not only perform well in ideal conditions but remain resilient, reliable, and, ultimately, certifiably safe in the real world? This site highlights my research, projects, and work-in-progress across autonomy, computer vision, and more.
Open to research collaborations and opportunities
A few highlights from my work in autonomy and computer vision.
Fine-tuned detection + lightweight post-processing for robust racing gate localization.
Competed in Abu Dhabi racing drones autonomously at 110+ mph with zero human control.
Hybrid YOLOv5 perception + MPC control achieving 200%+ improvement over NeurIPS 2019 baseline.
