Aditya Kailas Jadhav
I graduated with a B.Tech in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering and an Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD) in Robotics from the Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M). I am currently a Senior Engineer at ZF Group, specializing in Vehicle Motion Control, where I combine my passion for robotics and autonomy to develop innovative control solutions for next-generation vehicles.
As a robotics and autonomy enthusiast, I enjoy exploring new technologies at the forefront of intelligent systems. My interests span across autonomous mobile robots, with a focus on guidance & control algorithms, navigation, motion planning, and leveraging AI to solve complex problems in robotics.
During my time at IIT Madras, I worked on the Autonomous Surface Vehicle Project MATSYA. This experience gave me practical insight into navigation and control challenges in unstructured environments—skills that still influence my engineering mindset today. Here, I developed and implemented guidance and control strategies using the Robot Operating System (ROS) and finally packaged the stack in a containerised environment with Docker. I analyzed real-time data from onboard sensors stored in ROS bag files using MATLAB, which helped build a strong intuition for experimental validation and system integration. You can find more details and learn about the project itself on the ASV Project page.
I am a big fan of Formula-1 racing and enjoy watching racing on the weekends. My favorite constructor is Red Bull.
I am also a Cricket buff and love to play Cricket. I have also tried writing a few answers on Quora and have one written on Cricket. Make sure to read the answer. Make sure you also visit my Quora Profile to find more answers (link). I also love playing Badminton!
