Summary
Richa A is a Senior Staff Engineer based in Bengaluru with 13 years of experience specializing in Visual SLAM, computer vision, and sensor fusion for AR and robotics applications. She has driven end-to-end CV and deep learning systems across productized phygital games, mobile SLAM platforms, and multi-sensor depth capture stacks, bridging research and production at companies like Niqo Robotics, Byju’s/Osmo, and Whodat. Comfortable across hardware-proximal protocols (MIPI-CSI, SPI, UART, USB3.0/UVC) and simulation/AR toolchains (Unity, Omniverse, ARKit/ARCore), she routinely collaborates with hardware, UX, and product teams to deliver integrated solutions. Her academic foundation (MS Robotics, UPenn) underpins rigorous approaches to geometry, SfM, and real-time tracking, while her past roles show a knack for building PoCs that translate research into tangible demos. Notably, she pairs deep algorithmic expertise with practical systems work—from firmware-level camera integration to GPT-enabled app prototypes—making her effective at taking novel CV ideas into deployable products.
