About Karthik Rajgopal
I am a robotics engineer passionate about building intelligent machines that merge mechanical design, control systems, and autonomy. I completed my MEng in Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley, where I specialized in the Control of Robotics & Autonomous Systems, and I bring a unique blend of hands-on prototyping, advanced controls, and reinforcement learning to solve real-world challenges.I enjoy working at the intersection of mechanical systems, control theory, and AI-driven autonomy, whether it’s designing hardware from the ground up or implementing algorithms for decision-making in uncertain environments.With publications in ACC and ICCAR, and experience across research labs, industry, and startups, I thrive in fast-paced, resource-constrained settings where collaboration and innovation drive impact.I am actively seeking opportunities in robotics, controls, and mechanical design where I can contribute to building autonomous systems that are safe, reliable, and scalable.
