Ankur Jay

“Robotics software engineer from Ati Motors who brought a Linear MPC approach (based on Kuhne et al.) into production, rebuilding parts of the planning stack to eliminate oscillations and safely double AMR speed from 0.8 m/s to 1.6 m/s. Also delivered an end-to-end point-cloud detection pipeline (PointPillars) including synthetic data generation in Isaac Sim and TensorRT deployment for real-time human/trolley detection, with a strong focus on production reliability via iterative hardening and nightly SIL.”

“Autonomy Engineer at Joulea Inc (Atlanta) with ~3 years building a drone autonomy stack end-to-end, spanning controls, swarm path planning, SLAM/LIO, and multi-sensor fusion (lidar/IMU/GPS RTK/camera). Notable work includes lidar degeneracy detection using Hessian-based constraints in an EKF and fusing visual odometry to reduce drift, plus ongoing lidar-camera synchronization and calibration.”
