Summary

Strong hands‑on autonomy and controls background: Ayushi led the controls/navigation team for IIT Kharagpur's Team AUV (SAVe), rebuilding perception modules, developing EKF/SMO estimators and working on SLAM and sensor fusion (IMU, DVL, camera) in ROS—skills she carried into internships and early roles. medium
Applied research and technical writing: co‑authored a 2020 conference paper ('Space Robotics versus Humans in Space') while at IIT Kharagpur, showing engagement with broader robotics/space systems debates and the ability to produce formal technical work. figshare
Industry experience in aerospace and maritime autonomy: campus placement to Airbus (Associate Engineer → Engineer) and subsequent move into maritime robotics at Rekise Marine indicate experience across modeling, simulation and control domains applied to both aerospace and marine robotic systems. medium+1
Toolchain and algorithmic breadth: public professional summaries list experience with C/C++, Python, MATLAB, ROS, OpenCV, TensorFlow, EKF/estimation methods, and simulation/analysis tools—consistent with roles spanning perception, estimation and control. weekday+1
