Rodolfo Raimundo
I build at the intersection of deep learning, reinforcement learning, and robotics. The goal is usually to get algorithms to do something useful in the physical world.
Research Scientist on Pindrop's Authentication & ID Research team since 2025. Before that, a graduate research assistant at Columbia's Creative Machines Lab.

Tobias
A four-legged robot that walks on a policy trained in simulation and runs on a Raspberry Pi 4 driving eight bus servos.

RaiApps
A budgeting app and a climbing training tracker, both Flutter on Supabase, with LLM reports that never compute numbers or act alone.
Kinetic Desk Lamp
A desk lamp that sets brightness by raising a glass lantern out of an aluminum tube, driven by a brushless motor on a lead screw.
Hand Grinder Automation
A hand coffee grinder turned into a motorized appliance, with a Raspberry Pi, a stepper-driven burr, an auger doser and a touchscreen.
TidyNET
A diffusion model plans a tidy layout from a photo of clutter, and a robot arm rearranges the real objects to match.
Kinetic Wall Lamp
A wall-mounted lamp with no buttons: knock its pendulum arm and it steps to the next held position.
Artificial Synaptic Pruning
A Fall 2020 study of synaptic pruning in neural networks, where deleting 80–95% of the weights improved test performance.
RAG Chat Assistant
A retrieval-augmented chat assistant that answers from the site's own content, using Cohere embeddings, reranking and Command A.
