Darsh Menon

Robotics engineer focused on perception, planning, and learning for autonomous systems

LinkedInPortfolioRoboCloud Dashboard


End-to-end autonomous robots on ROS 2 — RL for manipulation/locomotion, CV for perception, expressive HRI, world models + VLAs for long-horizon tasks. Stack: ROS 2, MuJoCo, Nav2, SLAM, MoveIt 2, Open-RMF.

What I Build

  • Manipulation & Locomotion: UR arms + Robotiq grippers, CHAMP quadruped, RL policies via ROS 2 policy nodes
  • Animatronics & HRI: 25-servo Dynamixel face, multimodal emotion recognition, lip sync transformer
  • Navigation & Fleet: Nav2 + SLAM Toolbox, Open-RMF for multi-robot coordination

Open to robotics/AI/RL/CV/HRI collaborators building real deployable systems.
