Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShreyas Sekhar is a research engineer based in California with nine years at Salesforce and over two decades in technology, specializing in robotics, distributed systems, and embodied AI. He has led real-world robotics deployments—integrating VLMs, LLM reasoning, ROS 2, and control stacks—to cut grasp failures and manual inspection effort by roughly a quarter to four-fifths while achieving sub-centimeter end-effector accuracy on humanoids. His work blends PyTorch/CUDA RL (PPO, SAC), TensorFlow pipelines, LangChain/RAG integrations, and trajectory optimization to deliver robust sim-to-real generalization across hundreds of hardware trials. Earlier roles accelerated edge perception and detection (MobileNetV3, YOLOv5/8 with TensorRT) for fast, accurate robotics perception in smart-city and drone use cases. He pairs deep hands-on systems engineering with academic training in mechatronics and robotics, and maintains an active interest in AI-driven manipulation and humanoid control that bridges research prototypes to production-ready robot systems.
