Darsh Menon - Robotics Software Developer | ROS2 Expert

Hello, I'm Darsh Menon

Hi! I'm Darsh Menon, a passionate Robotics Software Developer who graduated from BITS Pilani with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2024. Currently, I'm working at Asimov Robotics, where I'm dedicated to making humanoid robots more accessible and creating innovative solutions that bridge the gap between humans and machines.

My journey in robotics began during my time at BITS Pilani, where I developed a deep fascination for autonomous systems, computer vision, and AI-driven robotics. Today, I specialize in ROS 2, motion planning, and developing intelligent systems that can understand and interact with the world around them.
