Ashton Larkin

I'm a first-year PhD student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by Siddhartha Srinivasa. I'm also a CSGrad4US fellow.

I'm interested in giving robots the manipulation capabilities that are required to perform everyday tasks in the real world. My long-term goal is to develop intelligent robotic systems that can thrive alongside humans in the home.

Before my PhD, I was a software engineer at Open Robotics, Intrinsic, and PickNik Robotics, and a visiting researcher at The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I received my bachelor’s degree in computer science from Brigham Young University in 2019.
