Sree Vardhan Sunkara

@sreevardhansunkara

I build autonomous robotics software for perception, navigation, locomotion, and fleet operations.

At Boston Dynamics, I build ROS 2 robotics software for real-time quadruped autonomy, connecting perception, localization, planning, control, and telemetry across structured and unstructured environments.

I develop AI perception and navigation workflows with PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, YOLOv8, sensor fusion, SLAM, Nav2, MoveIt 2, and MPC to support obstacle awareness, terrain understanding, and collision-aware motion.

Previously at Hi-Tech Robotic Systemz, I built autonomous mobile robot software for warehouse automation, improving perception accuracy by 35%, navigation performance by 32%, and deployment time by 42%.
