Welcome to my digital abode, where I fuse the realms of robotics, software engineering, and innovation. Here's a sneak peek into my world!

I'm Atreya Bhat, a Robotics Engineer on a mission to unlock the potential of intelligent machines. What draws me to robotics? It's the perfect blend of diverse skills and the exhilaration of seeing ideas come to life!

With a background from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and hands-on experience from leading labs, I've delved into the intersections of planning, control, learning, and vision-based manipulation.

• At WPI's Manipulation & Environmental Robotics Lab, I'm at the forefront of developing cutting-edge solutions for robot scrap cutting. I am developing active vision algorithms both classical and based on Deep reinforcement learning to obtain multiple viewpoints for feature reconstruction to aid in the next step of oxy-acetylene cutting. Mentored by Prof. Berk Calli

• At Bosch, I kicked off with ECU Software Integration and later transitioned to the role of ECU Production Coordinator. My journey involved collaborating across teams to implement and test cybersecurity features for ECUs.

• My stint at ARTPARK, Indian Institute of Science focused on Localization and Sensor Fusion.

• Exploring reinforcement learning applications in manipulation for adaptive behavior.
• Diving deeper into computer vision and deep learning.

Developed an Encoder-Decoder network to optimize motion planning by learning sampling distributions.

Simulated and implemented LQR control on a quadrotor to capture a UAV in 3D space.

Designed a robotic arm capable of grasping objects in various 2D poses and tracking moving targets in 3D space using innovative hand-eye configuration.

Developed a custom robot equipped with dynamic obstacle avoidance for moving between AruCo marker checkpoints, proposed for COVID care centers.

When not immersed in the world of robotics, I enjoy:

• 🚴‍♂️ Exploring new trails on my bike
• 📚 Getting lost in a good book
• ✨ Stargazing and Astrophotography
