From 🏎️
to 🤖 💡 💻

I originally started out studying cars, but somewhere along the way, I discovered my love for programming. Specifically that sweet spot where software meets the hardware. There's just something incredibly satisfying about writing code that interacts directly with the physical world. My first love was the Linux terminal, which led me to Bash scripting, and eventually right into the heart of embedded development.

These days, I'm a software engineer at a robotics company. I have a background in mechatronics and computer vision, which basically means I spend my time working with grippers, cameras, and classical image processing. When I'm off the clock, you'll usually find me tinkering with Rust, diving deep into advanced embedded Linux, or polishing my systems programming skills in C.

Research & Writing

Investigation of laser spot size on relative position displacement sensing using laser-speckle imaging @ Deutsche Gesellschaft für angewandte Optik (DGaO) 2024
Philipp Walderich, Anirudh Singh, Leon Michel Gorißen

In this paper the influence of laser spot size on surface on the displacement estimation result in laser speckle imaging is investigated. Mean intensity gradient as quality criteria for laser speckle images is also introduced and evaluated as a potential quality control parameter for laser speckle displacement measurement.

Development of Laser-Speckle based Velocity Sensor for Robot TCP Motion @ Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen - Lehrstuhl für Lasertechnik 2023
Anirudh Singh

Due to positional inaccuracies in robot Tool Center Point (TCP) position, an optical position estimation method utilizing Laser Speckle Pattern (LSP) images is investigated from the perspective of quantitative quality analysis.
