Siddharth Mayya is a robotics researcher and engineer with 11 years of experience translating frontier multi-robot algorithms into production systems, currently building fleet orchestration and metric-semantic mapping for mixed mobile manipulator fleets at Chewy. He blends rigorous academic work—PhD in swarm robotics from Georgia Tech and postdoc at UPenn—with hands-on deployment experience from Amazon Robotics’ production RL manipulation to cloud-connected ocean chemistry sensing at Aquatic Labs. His expertise spans hierarchical task allocation, distributed optimization, and integrating ML with classical control, and his publications appear in top robotics venues including T-RO, RSS, ICRA, and IROS. Notably, he was a founding member of the Robotarium and has designed both firmware and hardware for large-scale swarm experiments, demonstrating a rare full-stack fluency from circuit boards to fleet-level planning. Based in Cambridge, MA, he is adept at taking mathematical formulations through implementation, field iteration, and operational scaling in real-world constrained environments.
