Shiv Seetharaman
I'm a systems engineer at Waymo, working on sensing and perception. I'm drawn to problems that span hardware, software, and AI, especially what it takes to make intelligent machines work reliably in the real world.
Projects
mmWave radar perception for factory robots
An mmWave radar system that lets an indoor factory robot detect and avoid obstacles, without a camera or lidar.
Floating light-show robots
Eight floating robots that hold formation on the water and run a synchronized light show.
A $15 network analyzer
An open-source network analyzer, about $15 in parts, for measuring the resonant frequency of MEMS cantilevers in a lab-on-a-chip system.
