Summary
Roshni Kaushik is a Senior Researcher at Fujitsu with 11 years of experience bridging robotics research and real-world autonomy. She completed a Robotics PhD at Carnegie Mellon after MS work on mechatronics at UIUC and a mechanical engineering undergraduate degree from Rice, focusing her career on using human movement understanding to inform robotic motion and socially-aware imitation. Her background includes internships at NVIDIA, Siemens, and the Air Force Research Laboratory, and she has worked on real-time robot imitation demos and trajectory learning from demonstration. Comfortable at the intersection of control, learning, and human-centered robotics, she brings both academic rigor from RASL and hands-on systems experience in industry collaborations. A less-obvious strength is her early cross-disciplinary training in international studies and technical writing, which helps her communicate complex robotic behaviors to diverse stakeholders.
