Summary
Aravind Swaminathan is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in AR navigation and visual-inertial odometry, with seven years of experience across autonomous driving and indoor robotics. He holds a dual Master's in Autonomous Systems from Aalto University and Università di Trento, and his work spans motion planning, control algorithms, lane-detection fusion, and positioning systems. Aravind has led navigation teams and developed controllers for differential and omnidirectional indoor logistics robots, while his master's thesis produced hands-on analysis of Visual SLAM with fisheye stereo cameras. At Basemark he focuses on visual-inertial localization for AR, building on prior roles delivering navigation stacks and perception modules for automotive and service robots. Known for translating academic research into robust production code, he combines deep understanding of sensor models and calibration with practical system integration and failure monitoring.
