Atharva Nale

Final-year Robotics & Automation engineer with production internship experience deploying ROS2-based industrial robotic arm systems. Boosted assembly line efficiency from 33% to 85% via metaheuristic optimization. Built a drone flight controller achieving attitude estimation at 1 kHz with under 2° error.

Core strengths: ROS2/MoveIt2, STM32 bare-metal firmware, and sensor fusion for real-time systems.

• Designed and deployed ROS2 motion execution pipelines for a 6-DOF industrial robotic arm, reducing task cycle time by 20% on the production floor.
• Refactored MoveIt2 planning parameters and trajectory controllers, eliminating 95%+ of path-planning failures across industrial pick-and-place operations.
• Built 3 ROS2 feature modules from scratch and transitioned them to real-world deployment, meeting a system-level latency target of under 50 ms.
• Debugged real-time performance bottlenecks with hardware and software teams, improving system uptime during prototype-to-production handoff.
