Hi! My name is Swapnil Kalhapure, a Roboticist, and a technological enthusiast. I constantly love learning and enjoying open-source hardware for robotics. I have advanced development skills using ROS/ROS2 for robot motion planning, 2D/3D vision, and machine learning. I am experienced in robotic simulations Gazebo, VRep, and Bullet. My passion is to solve engineering problems and develop automated solutions.
Worked on following Industrial hardware and robots :
Manipulators (UR10, UR5, UR5e), AGVs, and mobile platforms (Kobuki, Turtlebot Burger & Waffle), Drones (Parrot AR 2, DJI Matrice 100).Nvidia Jetson TX1/TX2, Sintrones PC (SBOX-2600), Google coral and Intel Movidius, PLC’s and DCS’s based on Siemens Logo, Sick, and IndustrialShields.
I have 3+ years of experience on the ROS navigation stack. I am a proficient C++ and Python developer. I have hands-on implementation experience on mapping techniques Gmapping, Hector, and Cartographer techniques. I have worked on sensor fusion techniques and localization algorithms.
Have worked on path planning algorithms like A*, RRT, Dijkstra’s Algorithm (DA), Probabilistic Road Map (PRM), Rapidly Random Tree (RRT) and Potential Field (PF). Implemented dynamic obstacle avoidance and object trajectory tracking tasks for mobile robots.
Above is a list of the expertise I can offer for the project. Further can be discussed, after the project starts.
