Dhagash Desai is a robotics software engineer with 8 years of experience building perception-driven autonomy systems in modern C++ and ROS2, delivering everything from research prototypes to production-grade, real-time edge deployments. He has shipped LiDAR and RGB-D perception, sensor fusion, and motion-planning components for automotive and assistive-robotics applications at companies including Mercedes‑Benz, Bosch, Datacept, and SmartAIs. Notable achievements include an iPhone‑edge obstacle detection pipeline running at 20 FPS for visually impaired navigation and a risk-evaluation framework based on FMEA that materially improved system safety and reduced memory use by 10x. Comfortable across the stack—C++, Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, Docker, Nav2 and BehaviorTree.CPP—he emphasizes measurable performance and modular architectures that make perception, planning, and control auditable. He holds an M.Sc. in Mobile Sensing and Robotics from the University of Bonn and brings a research-minded approach to production problems, often translating novel point-cloud and transformer-based techniques into robust fielded software.
