Hi!

I’m Chenna Kautilya, and I specialize in autonomy architecture for robotics companies ready to move beyond the lab. My work focuses on the systems that allow robots to plan complex tasks, perceive dynamic environments, and execute reliably in production.

At Medra Robotics, I led the technical redesign of our autonomy stack, transforming it into a modular platform that could generalize across tasks. At Nimble Robotics and Omron Research Center, I built the motion intelligence and perception systems that power warehouse automation and industrial manipulation.

I bring expertise across the full stack—motion planning, control, machine learning, infrastructure—with a focus on what it takes to deploy robotics systems that work reliably in production. I earned my Master’s in Robotics from the University of Utah, researching probabilistic manipulation planning at the LL4MA Lab.

You can reach me over email, twitter, LinkedIn. Some of my projects are on GitHub and on my resume. My old website is yubaba and you can also find me on tor 🧅 at kchenna [truncated] d.onion. You can send me files through dropbox via this link. If you want to send me something super secret, use my public key.
