Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSrijal Poojari is a robotics and autonomy researcher with a decade of hands-on experience building embedded control systems and state-of-the-art robot autonomy for self-driving and search-and-rescue applications. As a Graduate Research Assistant and PhD student at the University of Maryland, he has led sensor fusion and navigation work—fusing IMU, GPS, and wheel odometry for urban scooter localization and demonstrating 400m autonomous campus navigation—and is extending those skills to autonomy and triage on Boston Dynamics Spot. He combines applied controls, VIO/SLAM, EKF, and real-time embedded firmware experience (dsPIC, TI C2000, AVR) to move projects from PCB and power electronics design to full system demonstrations. Previously he delivered high-power motor control and battery charger systems and built a 10 kg tethered multirotor with custom high-frequency DC–DC converters, reflecting a rare blend of electronics, control theory, and field robotics. Based in College Park, MD, he pairs rigorous academic research with pragmatic engineering that performs in dense urban and constrained hardware environments.
