Summary
Sarthak Kaingade is a Senior Robotics Applied Scientist with 12 years of hands-on experience building perception-driven robotics and autonomous systems, currently leading advanced robotics research at Amazon Lab126. He combines deep expertise in C/C++, Python, ROS, OpenCV and embedded Linux with a Master’s in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida to deliver production-grade solutions from sensor fusion and SLAM to precision eye-in-hand calibration. His track record includes single-handedly designing non-ROS and ROS-based calibration systems achieving sub-millimeter accuracy, end-to-end autonomous ground vehicle stacks, and precision docking using visual markers. Comfortable across hardware and software boundaries, he has built device drivers, ported RTOS to STM32 platforms, and deployed ML inference pipelines on AWS for real-world robot deployments. Known for turning research ideas into reliable factory and field systems, he blends algorithmic rigor (EKF/PF, NLLS optimization) with pragmatic engineering for scalable autonomy. Based in Gainesville, FL, he brings a rare mix of lab‑grade research and production engineering that accelerates robot capabilities from prototype to product.
