I don’t just build robots…
I design intelligent systems that perceive, reason and act in the real world.
I’m Harshit Jain, a robotics engineer focused on building systems that connect perception, intelligence and motion. My work centers on enabling robots to understand their environment through vision and sensors and translate that understanding into reliable physical action.
Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering (Robotics) at Carnegie Mellon University, where I work on problems in robot perception, ROS2-based autonomy and perception-driven control systems.
“My goal is simple: turn perception into purposeful robotic behavior in the real world.”
