Summary
Kiran Mohan is a Senior Robotics Software Engineer with a decade of experience building perception and localization systems, currently advancing autonomy at Blue River Technology after multi-role growth at Neato Robotics. He holds an M.S. in Robotics Engineering (4.0 GPA) from WPI and combines deep expertise in SLAM, state estimation, and probabilistic robotics with applied machine learning and deep learning for robot vision. His background spans embedded firmware to high-level ROS-based motion planning and real-world solutions—ranging from MRI-compatible surgical robots to warehouse localization and consumer robot products. Known for pushing technical limits in production settings, he brings a disciplined, test-driven C++ practice alongside Python prototyping. Based in Newark, CA, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on industrial impact, often tackling the “kidnapped robot” and other challenging edge cases in deployment.
