Summary
Josh Marino is a robotics engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and deploying autonomous and semi-autonomous control systems for ground vehicles, UAVs, quadrupeds, and swarms, primarily using ROS at Intelligent Automation, Inc. He holds a Master's in Robotics from Northwestern (2015) and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech, blending strong academic research—such as droplet levitation and high-speed experimental work—with practical robotic manipulation and motion-planning projects like dual-arm Baxter handoffs. Josh has a track record of taking projects from sensor and mechanical design through control and path planning, including bio-inspired flight and Ackermann-steered autonomy, and brings a maker’s skillset with machining and custom hardware development. Based in Derwood, Maryland, he couples systems-level thinking with field-ready implementation, often optimizing multi-DOF platforms and real-time behaviors that aren’t obvious from job titles alone.
