Gautam Sharma

I am a graduate student pursuing my Masters in Robotics and Autonomous Systems from Arizona State University, USA. My long term goal is to work in the autonomous robotics domain to solve various complex problems surrounding our society.

Combining robotics, math and AI I would like to work to develop new technologies, devices that make our lives worth living. If you have an interesting opportunity for me don't forget to drop a message.

My hobbies include playing soccer, reading books and watching documentaries.

I am interested in the following fields:

Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence
Robotics
Computer Vision

About me:

Completed my undergraduate degree in Mechanical engineering at the PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh, helped me understand the world of robots in depth.

Currently, I am working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Robotics, Embedded Autonomy, and Communication Theory Lab at ASU under the guidance of Dr Stephanie Gil. I am working on the communication of multi-robot systems for successful path planning strategies. I have successfully designed flight control algorithms and implemented them through ROS on Crazyflie drones.

With the future belonging to autonomous vehicles, I want to pursue research in Artificial Intelligence and deliver successful solutions to benefit mankind. I aim to bring robotics to every household and make people’s lives easier. We face a plethora of problems in the area of health and transportation and I would like to work on these areas equipped with the world-class education and findings on AI.
