Shreyas Raorane

M.S.E. Robotics from Penn's GRASP Lab, and two years writing production software in industry before that.

My thesis is decentralized multi-robot coordination. I designed LCBA, a task-allocation algorithm that keeps a fleet completing tasks even when the communication graph breaks apart. Where centralized baselines drop to zero, LCBA keeps running. I evaluated it across 6 maps and 6 to 200 agents over 432 runs.

At OPEX I built a multi-threaded discrete-event simulation in C++ handling 1,000+ parallel events. It let the team validate against the simulator instead of waiting on scarce hardware.

I work across the autonomy stack too. ROS2 perception and planning on the F1/10 racing platform, an adaptive RRT* planner for real-time goal tracking, and distributed MPC for 8+ quadrotor swarms.

First-author paper at the ICRA 2026 Workshop on Frontiers of Optimization for Robotics (SBAMP), on real-time adaptive motion planning.

Focus areas: C++, ROS2, motion planning (RRT*, A*, MPC), multi-agent systems, real-time and distributed control, simulation.

Time Critical Software Engineering Intern at OPEX Corporation (2025-06 – 2025-08)

Warehouse robotics company

• Engineered a multi-threaded discrete-event hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation in C++ for warehouse automation, managing 1,000+ parallel material flow events with shared state across 3 concurrent threads
• Developed a time-critical scheduling engine completing actuation sequences within 3 ms, modeling real hardware timing so the software team could run automated regression and validation tests against the simulator instead of physical hardware

Software Development Engineer at Brillio Technologies (2022-06 – 2024-06)

Verizon ESAP enterprise platform

• Sole developer on the Wholesale EMEA module of a Verizon enterprise platform serving 10,000+ users: owned the UI end-to-end and optimized PostgreSQL queries to cut response times by 35%
• Delivered features through the full software development life cycle: code reviews, source control (Git), CI/CD, and production support

Master of Science in Engineering in Robotics – University of Pennsylvania (2024-08 – 2026-05)
