Message

At Acceleration Robotics, I serve as CEO. My work and interests center on robotics, ROS, machine learning, and embedded systems.

At Technoyantra, I developed customized robotics applications for projects involving autonomous navigation, SLAM, and manipulation using ROS and ROS 2. Before that, I developed a custom navigation stack and robot behavior architecture using behavior trees at Honest AgTech.

Earlier, I worked on ROS-based sensor technology, including SLAM, sensor fusion, mapping, and navigation at SIGRA Technologies GmbH. I also developed an optical flow sensor at FH Aachen to track movement at greater distances and enhance SLAM using ROS.
