About Sagar Sachdev
I am a Robotics Engineer and a Master of Science graduate from Carnegie Mellon University, currently working as a Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer at Field AI. Prior to this, I spent 2.5 years as a Robotics Deployment Engineer at Path Robotics. With a strong foundation in both theoretical principles and practical applications, I am well-equipped to tackle complex challenges in robotics, software engineering, and systems integration.During my time at Carnegie Mellon, I worked as a Graduate Student Researcher at the AirLab, where I developed and validated time-optimal paths for fixed-wing UAVs in uniform wind conditions, achieving over 37% speed improvement and a 10x increase in path-solving speed, making it the current state of the art. Additionally, I explored the field of electronic waste recycling at the Biorobotics Lab, creating software for an autonomous disassembly station that improved fastener removal accuracy to 95% for a project sponsored by Apple.I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning a Bachelor\'s degree in Engineering Mechanics with a focus on Mechatronics and Design. During this time, I gained valuable experience evaluating the impact of hydrodynamic and aerodynamic conditions on the stability of floating platforms for offshore wind turbines and defining a control co-design strategy for a National Renewable Energy Lab project.Originally from Singapore, I now reside in Irvine, California. Outside of work and academics, I enjoy exploring the world through travel and capturing moments with my camera. I have a passion for playing Flamenco on my Spanish Classical Guitar, immersing myself in nature through hiking, working out in the gym, running, exploring new coffee shops, and playing and watching soccer.Whether you\'re interested in potential job opportunities or just want to chat about shared interests, I\'m always open to connecting. Let\'s start a conversation that could lead to exciting possibilities or simply a pleasant exchange of ideas!\"
