Deepak Kj

Mechatronics Engineering graduate with hands-on experience in ROS2-based autonomous mobile robot development, robotics simulation, and AGV/AMR systems through internship and project work. Skilled in URDF/Xacro modeling, Gazebo Harmonic simulation, Nav2, SLAM Toolbox, and ros2_control, with practical exposure to Arduino and sensor integration. Interested in autonomous navigation, robot simulation, and intelligent automation systems, with the ability adapt quickly and contribute effectively to robotics development teams.

Industrial Intern at DMW CNC Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. (2024-07 – 2024-07)

• Observed CNC machining operations and industrial automation workflows while gaining exposure to precision manufacturing processes in a production environment.

ROS2 Developer Intern at KarthiKesh Robotics Pvt. Ltd. (2026-02 – Present)

• Delivered autonomous navigation demos for a live AGV prototype — configured Nav2 global/local costmaps, AMCL localisation, and Behavior Trees in Gazebo Harmonic, enabling autonomous obstacle-aware navigation in simulation
• Built and configured a complete ROS2 simulation stack by developing URDF/Xacro robot models, integrating ros2_control with diff_drive_controller, connecting Gazebo sensor plugins through ros_gz, and resolving TF tree and odometry integration issues during simulation testing.

B.E. in Mechatronics Engineering – K.S. Rangasamy College of Technology (2022 – 2026)
