Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManish Saroya is a research engineer specializing in autonomy for mobility, logistics, and exploration with 11 years of experience building deployed robotic systems and research-grade algorithms. He blends hands-on C++/ROS development for Autonomous Ground Vehicles with academic strengths in prediction-informed planning, probabilistic methods, and deep learning—work that produced three publications, two patent filings, and multiple conference presentations. At Honda Research Institute he progressed from software engineer to Research Engineer II, shipping motion-planning and decision-making modules and winning an internal MVP award. Earlier roles include leading localization and odometry improvements for continuously operating factory AGVs and contributing key software to the award-winning CMU-OSU DARPA Subterranean team. His master’s thesis on topological learning for exploration reflects a recurring focus on topology-informed mapping and resilient multi-robot exploration—skills he pairs with practical simulator and deployment experience (Gazebo, CARLA, CarMaker). Based in Mountain View, he combines product-minded engineering with publishable R&D, making research results directly usable in real-world robotic platforms.
