The Wandering Roboticist

About Me

I’m Saniya Patwardhan — a robotics researcher with a passion for both intelligent machines and the open road. I did my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Gandhinagar with a minor in Robotics, and I’m now headed to Imperial College London for an MRes in Design Engineering with a focus on robotics.

Over the years, I’ve worked across cities and disciplines — from Pune to Seattle — blending robotics, AI, and computer vision to build useful, adaptive systems. This site represents not just my work, but a way of working: traveling light, thinking deep, and solving problems wherever they arise.

Selected Projects

Coming soon! This section will showcase past freelance, academic, and personal robotics projects.

What I Offer

• Robotics algorithm development (motion planning, control, manipulation)
• AI/Computer Vision integration (YOLO, OpenCV, segmentation)
• Sim-to-real deployment & ROS-based workflows
• Creative problem-solving for real-world robotics tasks

Where I’ve Worked From

Pune · Gandhinagar · Delhi · Seattle · London

Coming soon: interactive map with robots and pins!

Resume
