👋️ Hello there! I’m Ashwin

📚️ I recently graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) with a major in Robotics Engineering. I completed my bachelor’s in Aeronautical Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology, India.

🦾️ I interned at Nokia AIMS as a Robotics Software Co-op during my last semester at WPI, at the Nokia Bell Labs campus in New Jersey. Worked on autonomous drone-based inventory monitoring service for warehouses focusing on solving complex routing challenges.

✈️ Previously, I worked at the Perception and Autonomous Robotics group PeAR at WPI under the guidance of Dr. Nitin Sanket as a research assistant. The lab focuses on advancing autonomy on tiny aerial robots using on-board sensing, perception and computation. I worked on depth map prediction from ultrasound for obstacle avoidance of tiny drones using deep learning.

🏎️ Apart from this, I love watching Formula 1 racing and playing pool/snooker. I also enjoy solving the Rubik’s cube, running and using AI tools.
