About Me

Hi! I'm Vishnu Mandala, a Robotics Engineer and recent graduate from the University of Maryland, College Park with a Master’s in Robotics Engineering. My expertise lies at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems, focusing on perception, planning, and control.

I have developed intelligent robotic systems using ROS/ROS2, designed deep learning-based AI solutions, and implemented reinforcement learning algorithms for navigation and decision-making. My experience spans mobile robotics, manipulators, autonomous navigation, and industrial automation, with a strong foundation in robot modeling, simulation, and embedded systems.

My work has been instrumental in projects such as autonomous robot navigation, industrial automation, AI-driven perception systems, and adaptive control algorithms, leveraging tools like PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, and SLAM frameworks. I am passionate about building efficient, scalable, and intelligent robotic solutions that push the boundaries of automation and real-world deployment.
