Robots that learn from a single demonstration
A compact dexterous policy that can adapt after one human example.
A personal research page, without rebuilding a website
Turn papers, projects, methods, figures, and ideas into one research page that makes the work easier to understand — and easier to remember.
About
My group studies how robots can acquire useful behavior from a handful of human demonstrations. We combine tactile sensing and human-centered evaluation.

A tactile prior reduces the demonstration data needed for dexterous policy learning.
Research in circulation
This space is reserved for approved X posts from researchers. For now, the feed below uses fictional ReStack profiles to preview how real snapshots will sit in the page.

Put our tactile-learning work into one page people can actually send around — paper, figures, project context, all together.

New coastal adaptation field atlas is live. The project page finally feels easier to update than the site around it.

A portfolio where the project story and the evidence live next to each other. This is closer to how I actually want people to encounter the work.
Demo snapshots only. No fictional post above is presented as a real endorsement; production social proof remains limited to approved posts with preserved source links.
Research, without the web maintenance tax
A personal site can be powerful. ReStack just moves the center of gravity: update the research once, and let the page, address, and search layer move with it.

The invisible web work, handled
Technical SEO is a stack of small, easy-to-miss settings. ReStack gives every published profile a clean address and prepares the search, structured-data, sitemap, and social metadata around it by default.

Tactile learning, one-shot policy learning, and human-guided manipulation.
Human-friendly address
restack.my/mayapatel
Stable, readable, and used as the canonical profile URL.
A useful preview when the page is shared.
Open Graph and large-card metadata travel with the profile.
ReStack prepares the technical search layer; search ranking still depends on the quality, relevance, and reach of the research itself.
Research people can follow
A citation proves the work exists. ReStack keeps the question, method, result, figure, links, and publication context together so someone can actually follow the research.
