Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarsha Nagaraja is a development engineer specializing in robotic software and industrial automation, with 8 years of engineering experience and 2.5 years focused on ROS-driven mobile, industrial robots and cobots. Based in Iserlohn, Germany, he develops autonomous navigation stacks covering mapping, localization (AMCL), sensor fusion and path planning, and has hands-on expertise building custom differential mobile robot hardware and ROS system architectures. At Forte+Wegmann he applies this toolkit to industrial settings, drawing on prior research and internship work where he created Gazebo models and evaluated real- and simulated-robot performance. He combines mechanical and mechatronics grounding with practical software engineering, enabling him to bridge low-level drivers to high-level controllers. Notably, his master’s thesis implemented a full SLAM-based navigation pipeline using 2D LiDAR and ROS, reflecting a track record of turning experimental setups into robust autonomous systems.
