My journey into robotics started with a passion for building systems that could sense, adapt, and interact with the world around them. During my Master’s in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Isfahan, I explored human-robot interaction, designing compliant control systems for the KUKA LBR iiwa robot using EMG signals. This experience shaped my vision of robotics—not just as machines, but as collaborative partners to humans.

Over the past few years, I’ve applied that vision in both research and industry. At Arman Entekhab Electronics, I engineered a socially assistive robot by developing 13 ROS2 packages in Python and C++, integrating real-time speech recognition, face tracking, and motion planning. At HiTech Innovation Center, I led a cross-functional team to deliver rapid prototypes, including a 3D bio-printer and an AI-powered Smart Nose prototype. These roles strengthened not only my technical expertise in ROS2, AI/ML, and control systems, but also my ability to lead teams and bridge the gap between research and practical deployment.

What excites me most is the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence. Whether it’s designing autonomous navigation, integrating perception with decision-making, or developing adaptive control strategies, I aim to create robotic systems that are reliable, intelligent, and impactful.

Today, I’m seeking opportunities to contribute to forward-thinking teams that push the boundaries of robotics—where I can bring my skills in software, AI, and control systems to build robots that truly serve people and industries.
