Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLakshadeep Naik is a postdoctoral researcher at KTH’s Division of Robotics, Perception, and Learning with 11 years of experience building perception and planning systems for mobile robots. He holds a PhD from the University of Southern Denmark where he developed methods for fusing external and onboard camera observations for 6D pose estimation, uncertainty-aware pre-grasp planning, and learned, computationally efficient online planners. His work spans academic research and applied projects—from extending OpenStreetMap for indoor robot navigation to R&D on social care and marine robots—bridging probabilistic modeling, topological representations, and robot learning. Based in Stockholm, he combines hands-on ROS and systems experience with teaching and EU-funded project contributions, and often focuses on making perception outputs actionable for real-time robot decision-making. An underappreciated strength is his track record of translating meta-models and mapping work into practical robot deployments and infrastructure.
