Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSrinivasan Vijayarangan is a robotics scientist and engineer with a decade-long track record of building autonomous systems that operate where humans cannot, from NASA-funded lunar rovers to centimeter-accurate field robots for agriculture. Based at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute, he leads autonomy and navigation research—driving MoonRanger’s self-driving software and directing navigation for the AI Institute for Resilient Agriculture. His work spans planetary exploration, precision ag, and off-road autonomy with deployments across deserts, mines, farms, and polar terrains, and is published in IROS, ICRA, iSAIRAS, and The Planetary Science Journal. He holds a highly cited U.S. patent and combines hands-on system design with team leadership, mentoring engineers through concept-to-field delivery. A less obvious strength is his ability to fuse GPS, vision, and drone mapping into crop-agnostic navigation solutions that achieve centimeter-level accuracy in the real world.
