About Me
Hi! I'm Vishnu Mandala, a Systems Integration Engineer at OTTO by Rockwell Automation in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I hold a Master’s in Robotics Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, where I specialized in robot perception, motion planning, and control.
I build intelligent robotic systems that connect software, hardware, and automation into cohesive, reliable solutions. My experience spans autonomous mobile robots, manipulators, and industrial automation, working with technologies like ROS2, MoveIt, SLAM, YOLOv8, and reinforcement learning to help robots perceive, decide, and act in complex environments.
I’ve contributed to projects ranging from fleet traffic management and AMR deployment to adaptive navigation algorithms and AI-based perception systems. Whether optimizing multi-robot coordination, developing real-time control architectures, or designing digital twins in Gazebo and IsaacSim, I focus on building scalable, data-driven automation that performs in the real world.
I’m passionate about bridging robotics, AI, and control engineering to push the boundaries of what machines can achieve—efficiently, intelligently, and safely.
