Senior🎓
Top SchoolSagun Shrestha is a Senior Robotics Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building embodied AI systems that bridge embedded edge compute, high-performance simulation, and cloud infrastructure for real-world localization, mapping, and navigation. He has led perception and autonomy efforts across startups and research organizations—designing lidar and multi-modal sensor pipelines for applications from high-rise facade access robots to quadruped locomotion—while translating cutting-edge research into deployable systems. At CSIRO's Data61 he focuses on embodied foundation models and edge AI, drawing on a background in adaptive control, reinforcement learning, and robust sensor fusion developed at Antikythera, Baraja and others. Comfortable across the full stack, Sagun combines hands-on firmware and ROS experience with production tooling and CI/HIL pipelines, and has a track record of reducing field calibration and iteration time through practical tooling. He holds a Master in Robotics and Automation and brings a rare mix of startup grit, research rigor, and production engineering discipline grounded in extensive field deployments.
