Sampada Upasani is a perception-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building and deploying LiDAR- and camera-based perception stacks for autonomous vehicles and robots. Currently at Zoox after leading perception and infrastructure efforts at Aeva, she has deep practical expertise in 3D voxelization, occupancy grids, clustering, probabilistic multi-object tracking and modern deep-learning detectors and segmenters. Her background blends academic rigor from Georgia Tech with hands-on systems work—integrating ROS, Gazebo simulations, and real sensors for production-grade robotics and bin-picking systems. Known for turning classical geometry and probabilistic methods into robust pipelines, she bridges algorithm research and scalable engineering in the San Francisco Bay Area.
