Experience
Senior Robotics Engineer
Kion Group
June 2024 - Present
Serving as a Senior Robotics Engineer (Full Stack Developer) at KION Group, the global leader in forklifts and warehouse intralogistics. My responsibilities involve spearheading advanced research at the intersection of autonomous navigation, intelligent control, and data-driven methodologies, while architecting comprehensive digital twin solutions for multi-agent autonomous mobile robots to optimize intralogistics processes and drive automation.
This involves looking after the entire robotic development stack, including software (both front-end and back-end), hardware integration, control systems, user interface and data management of robotic systems. Kion Group Website

PhD Title: Bionic Reflex Control for an Optimized Underactuated Robotic Hand: A Reinforcement Learning Approach
Guide: Prof. Shyamanta M. Hazarika
- Design optimization of underactuated parameters of a robotic hand based on grasp quality measures using a population-based optimization algorithm.
- Developed a bionic reflex controller using reinforcement learning (RL) for slippage and deformation prevention in an anthropomorphic robotic hand.
- Enhanced the robustness of the RL-based bionic reflex controller through adaptive sliding mode control for efficient deployment.
