# Nupur Nimbekar > Robotics Engineer Location: Waltham, Massachusetts, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nupurnimbekar I am a Robotics Software Engineer specializing in autonomy, perception, and planning for robotic systems, with experience in both industry and research. At Vecna Robotics, I contributed to the development of autonomous forklifts and high-reach warehouse robots, focusing on task planning, congestion management, and the design of sensor driver wrappers for lidars and cameras. My work has directly improved warehouse workflows, increased pallet throughput, and enhanced the scalability and reliability of the autonomy stack across multiple platforms. Previously, as a Computer Vision Engineer Intern at Vidalign, I built vision pipelines for 3D reconstruction with monocular cameras, improved facial landmark detection, and contributed to real-time 3D mesh generation. During my graduate research at the University of Maryland, I developed novel coverage path planning algorithms, demonstrating improvements in accuracy and efficiency over traditional methods. I also gained experience in machine learning and perception through projects involving neural networks for drug prediction, CNN-based image classification, and OpenCV-based vision tasks such as optical flow, lane detection, and segmentation. I hold an M.Eng. in Robotics from the University of Maryland and a B.Tech. in Electronics Engineering from SNDT Women’s University. My technical strengths include C++, Python, ROS, and computer vision frameworks, and I am passionate about designing scalable robotic systems that solve real-world industrial challenges. ## Work Experience ### Robotics Software Engineer II @ Vecna Robotics Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Waltham, Massachusetts, United States ### Robotics Software Engineer @ Vecna Robotics Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Waltham, Massachusetts, United States ### Computer Vision Engineer Intern @ Vidalign the Computer Vision & Machine Learning Company Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | New York, United States • Worked on formulating various vision pipelines for 3D reconstruction with monocular camera • Assisted in improving facial landmark detection and tracking module used for real-time 3D mesh generation. ### Research Assistant @ University of Maryland Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | College Park, Maryland, United States • Developed a novel path planning approach using Voronoi Partition Coverage Path planning for UV sterilization robots. • Implemented Spanning Tree Coverage (STC) algorithm to achieve maximum coverage of each cell. • Correlated result of Voronoi P-CPP with the regular Partition Coverage Path planning to analyze outcomes which has more accuracy in equally divided spaces. • Proved Voronoi P-CPP has increased accuracy and improved time-complexity in unevenly distributed target regions. ### Graduate Assistant @ UMD College of Behavioral and Social Sciences Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 ### Research Assistant @ Usha Mittal Institute of Technology Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Mumbai, Maharashtra, India • Designed a structure for Industrial Robot; Applied it in a swarm of robots using Arduino Uno and ZigBee. • Performed swarm calibration to ensure the optimal level of hardware specification is attained for each robot. • Devised an AR-based User interface on Unity3D to tele-operate the swarm and demonstrate real-world applications. ### Internship Program @ ExpertsHub Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Pune, Maharashtra ### Ericsson Career Connect Program @ Ericsson Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Mumbai, Maharashtra ## Education ### Masters in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering University of Maryland ### Bachelor of Technology - BTech in Electronics Engineering Usha Mittal Institute of Technology for Women ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/nimbekarnupur --- Source: https://flows.cv/nupurnimbekar JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/nupurnimbekar/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-31
