Siddhant Shrivastava
I’m a PhD candidate at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, in the MARVL Lab, on the President’s Graduate Fellowship. I work on robust and intelligent multi-robot systems across domains: robust perception, resilient coordination, and multimodal interfaces between people and robot teams.
From 2018 to 2026 I was at iTrust, SUTD’s centre for cyber security research, building attack detectors and automatic defences for water treatment plants and power grids. Before that I was at Goldman Sachs, and I studied computer science at BITS Pilani.
Research
I want robot teams that keep perceiving and coordinating correctly when some of their members fail, are wrong, or are compromised, so that people can rely on them in the real world. Working notes are in the research diary.

Consensus over a fleet of imperfect 3D scene graphs

Several robots each map part of a space as a 3D scene graph. When their graphs disagree, which claims should the merged map keep?
