Autonomous robot: perception and SLAM.
Visual SLAM, EKF sensor fusion and YOLOv8 detection on a Jetson, on a robot I designed and built.
Open case studyRobots that see, learn and move.
Deelip Kumar Gummadidala, robotics engineer. I build perception and machine-learning pipelines for real robots, and design the mechanisms they run on.

About
Hello, I'm Deelip.
I help robots understand where they are and what is around them. Visual SLAM, EKF sensor fusion and YOLO detection on a Jetson; models that predict when a planner will fail; and mechanisms I design in Fusion 360, 3D-print and test until they work.
