Darsh Menon

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

LinkedIn • Portfolio • RoboCloud Dashboard

I build autonomous robot systems end-to-end on ROS 2 — RL policies for manipulation and locomotion, CV pipelines for real-world perception, and expressive interfaces for human-robot interaction.

Focus

  • Robot manipulation, autonomous navigation, RL, computer vision, VLAs, expressive HRI
  • Stack: ROS 2, MuJoCo, Nav2, SLAM, MoveIt 2, Open-RMF
  • Open to: robotics developers, AI/RL practitioners, CV researchers, HRI enthusiasts

What I Build

Manipulation & Locomotion: UR arms with Robotiq grippers, CHAMP quadruped, RL policies in MuJoCo 3 deployed via ROS 2 policy nodes.

Animatronics & HRI: 25-servo Dynamixel face with multimodal emotion recognition and lip sync transformer for expressive robot interaction.

Navigation & Fleet: Nav2 and SLAM Toolbox for autonomous navigation, Open-RMF for multi-robot coordination.

Let's Talk If You...

  • care about real deployable robotics, not just simulation demos
  • work on CV, planning, locomotion, VLAs, or expressive HRI
  • want to collaborate on open-source ROS 2, RL, or CV pipelines
  • enjoy discussing trade-offs from servo kinematics to vision-language-action models
