I'm Sam Khalandovsky, a robotics engineering lead at Shield AI working on intelligent behaviors for autonomous quadcopters.

Currently I lead the team working on global motion planning, task planning, and exploration on autonomous quadcopters. I'm interested in multi-agent systems, control theory, and generally all things robotics. I've worked on low-level controls, high-level behavioral planning, and a lot in between. On the academic side I've developed algorithms for dynamic bipedal walking, and in industry I've worked on many parts of the stack for self-driving cars and UAVs.

When I'm not working on robotics-related projects, I enjoy rock-climbing, mountaineering, and paragliding.

This old website features some of my projects from college and earlier.
