[ About ]

Sushmitha Govindaraj - Robotics Engineer

Hey There!👋 I am Sushmitha Govindaraj, a results-driven Robotics Engineer currently pursuing my M.Sc. in Automation & Robotics at TU Dortmund, Germany. With a strong foundation in AI-powered solutions, autonomous systems, and industrial automation, I specialize in developing intelligent systems using deep learning, robotic manipulation, and sensor data fusion.

While my primary focus remains on robotics, Currently at Wilo Group, I gain extensive experience leveraging Databricks and PySpark for industrial data science solutions, bridging the gap between big data and autonomous control. My experience spans from working on sonar-based SLAM for autonomous vessels to optimizing signal processing in embedded systems through AI-driven modeling.

I thrive on solving complex challenges and creating innovative solutions that enhance autonomy, adaptability, and efficiency in robotics.
