# Dharini Dutia > Software Engineer, Intrinsic | Women in Robotics Board Member Location: Sunnyvale, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/dharini Just another citizen of the Earth striving towards upgrading the technology, (hence humankind) by building robots! I am a Robotics and Electronics Engineer, working to contribute in the field of planning and decision making. My interests lie in robot motion planning, optimization, embedded systems, and multi-robot systems. In my free time, I like to explore new places, read fiction, paint, dance, and trek. I love food, the smell of new books, time travel, and space exploration!
