Nishith Mehta

Bringing 3 years of hands-on experience in the robotics domain, I specialize in creating efficient, reliable software systems with ROS1, C++, Python, Qt, and QML. My work in deploying scalable solutions on AWS and optimizing databases with MongoDB has allowed me to contribute significantly to the success of cross-functional teams. I am dedicated to designing robust product architectures that align with both technical and business goals.

3Years

Robotics Engineer

Wastefull Insights
Jul, 2023 - Present2 yr 8 months
    Developed and optimized robotic software for pick-and-place automation using ROS1, increasing success rate from 60% to 80%. Reduced pick cycle time by 37.5% (1.6s <1s) through jerk analysis and motion strategy improvements. Built and maintained scalable data pipelines using MongoDB and integrated AWS S3 for cloud data management. Integrated real-time image and log data retrieval, improving system observability and debugging. Developed visualization tools and UI with Qt & QML to display robot data, logs, and performance charts. Used Gazebo for robot simulation testing and performance tuning in a controlled environment. Implemented feedback mechanisms and logging systems to capture system behavior for optimization.

Robotics Intern

Wastefull Insights
Jan, 2023 - Jun, 2023 5 months
    Migrated robotic software from Python to C++ (ROS), improving execution speed, system performance, and code maintainability. Designed and implemented data pipelines using AWS S3 for scalable and reliable transfer of image and structured data. Set up real-time monitoring dashboards with Grafana and ThingsBoard to visualize sensor data, system health, and key operational metrics. Assisted in debugging and optimizing robotic communication protocols, enhancing system reliability and responsiveness.

Major Projects

2Projects

Two Wheel Balancing Robot

    Designed and built a two-wheel self-balancing robot inspired by the working principles of an inverted pendulum. The robot maintains its upright position on two wheels while responding to tilt and movement commands.

Gesture Mimicking Robotic Arm SDP Project

    Developed a robotic arm that replicates human hand movements in real time using computer vision and machine learning. Utilized Mediapipe, OpenCV, Python, and Arduino to capture and recognize gestures, controlling a 3D-printed arm via servo motors.
