About Ajay Kumar Ucheniya

I’m a Robotics Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience delivering autonomy solutions across drone and robotic platforms, combining deep control systems knowledge with a builder’s mindset. My work spans embedded systems, path planning, motion control, and real-time decision-making—always with a focus on scalable, reliable deployment.At DCM Shriram Defence, I currently lead the development of a GPS-denied autonomous navigation system for UAVs using LiDAR and visual SLAM. I’ve designed ROS2-based path planning stacks (Dijkstra, A*), integrated geofence and failsafe handling, and optimized performance for real-world constraints.Previously at NewSpace Research & Technologies, I built swarm autonomy for fixed-wing and VTOL drones—including decentralized flight logic, Dubins path planners, PX4 firmware customization, and a visual-based kinetic strike algorithm for Kamikaze drones, enabling precision targeting and execution in real-world scenarios.With an M.Tech from IIT Gandhinagar (Robotics & Control) and a B.Tech from NIT Agartala, I bring strong foundations in control theory and embedded software. My skill set includes C++, Python, ROS1/2, PX4/ArduPilot, and hardware integration with LiDAR, cameras, and companion computers.I’m passionate about building reliable, product-ready autonomy stacks and thrive at the intersection of real-world deployment and scalable system architecture.
