Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLogan Elliott is a Robotics Software Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building autonomy across nearly a dozen platforms—from submarines and on-road shuttles to high-performance UAS—now based in Austin, Texas. He has designed and implemented end-to-end UAS systems including 3D autonomous planners, frontier-based exploration algorithms, and real-time lidar processing pipelines, and has production experience with ROS2, PX4, and embedded controllers. Logan pairs algorithmic work (SLAM, collision and speed planning) with practical systems engineering—SIL/HIL testing, Modbus drivers, and on-water trials—bridging research prototypes to deployable platforms. Notably, he re-architected vehicle lidar processing and developed a convex polygon planning approach for safety-critical shuttle projects, and has repeatedly integrated simulation and hardware (Gazebo, PX4, commercial flight sims) to validate autonomy in GPS-denied and complex environments.
