Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManas Shukla is a senior controls engineer with 10 years of experience blending industrial automation, robotics, and machine learning to deliver production-grade systems across manufacturing and logistics. He has deep PLC and SCADA expertise (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff), has written tens of thousands of lines of Structured Text/Ladder Logic, and built modular libraries that substantially cut development time. Equally comfortable in ROS/Gazebo/MoveIt and computer vision stacks (OpenCV, TensorFlow), Manas has moved research-grade navigation and ML models into deployed robotic solutions that improve pick-and-place accuracy and enable predictive maintenance. He pairs low-level integration (EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus, servo drives, safety controllers) with higher-level analytics, creating JSON-driven frameworks and dashboards for real-time monitoring and traceability. A former research assistant at UPenn with an open-source simulation used by collaborators, he is obsessive about reusable architectures and continuous learning to push automation from prototype to scale.
