Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMithun Diddi is a Senior Robotics Software Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building and shipping field-proven autonomy for logistics and mapping applications. He has led full-stack autonomy development—from SLAM, sensor fusion, and controls to behavior trees, simulation, and fleet DevOps—turning manually operated platforms into production AMRs that won enterprise contracts. His work at Dapster AI includes custom Nav2 plugins, multi-LiDAR/fiducial localization, and a high-throughput autonomous unloading behavior that boosted pick rates from 150 to 700+ per hour. Previously he commissioned multi-AGV warehouse fleets and drove hardware validation and compliance at Balyo, and his PhD work in Northeastern’s Field Robotics Lab involved UAV photogrammetry and remote-environment mapping. A certified Part 107 remote pilot, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic system-integration skill—often optimizing drivers and simulations to cut CPU and CI costs in early-stage products. Based in the Bay Area, Mithun is comfortable spanning field deployment, research, and mentoring across interdisciplinary teams.
