Summary
Siddarth Narasimhan is a robotics research engineer with eight years of experience building intelligent robot systems and embedded platforms, currently developing Lume at Syncere. He holds an MASc and BASc from the University of Toronto, where his graduate work fused diffusion models and large foundation models with ROS/ROS2 and Isaac Gym for robust robot navigation. His background spans startups and industry—from founding research and development at Syncere AI to power and firmware engineering at AMD—combining hardware debugging, firmware tooling, and ML-driven perception. Siddarth has delivered production-focused tooling (custom Raspberry Pi remote management and GUI for I2C/SMBUS/MCTP/PLDM) and practical transportation and analytics ML systems used by government agencies. He blends hands-on CAD and embedded prototyping with research-grade simulation, making him adept at translating cutting-edge models into deployable robotic behavior.
