    https://youtu.be/i1K5YXUAE1U?si=OdeQkwhYfE_QDAy- & t=77 Develop an obstacle-avoidance system for an autonomous forklift using MPPI in dynamic environments; projected arbitrary-shape LiDAR obstacles onto an occupancy grid to generate collision-free trajectories. CUDA-optimized on NVIDIA GPUs to sample 512 trajectories at 200 Hz. Deployed in production across customer warehouses (Nissan, G3, Vertiv). Built trajectory prediction for people and forklifts to enable behavior-aware avoidance beyond static obstacles. Fused camera + LiDAR to localize detections in the robot frame; used YOLO for detection and SORT for tracking/trajectory extrapolation. Maintain and optimize a ROS-based navigation stack, fixing multithreading race conditions, memory leaks, and high CPU usage to improve system stability, latency, and throughput.
