About

Ankur Srivastava is an Automated Driving Software Developer at MathWorks with a research goal of creating a system of multiple robots that can collaboratively complete assigned tasks. His area of interest includes Multi-Agent systems, mechanism design, and control systems. Ankur's current role at MathWorks involves implementing multiple algorithms in Navigation Toolbox for MATLAB. His work primarily focuses on Motion Planning for Self-Driving cars, which involves Behavioral Planning, Route planning in structured and unstructured environments. Additionally, he has contributed to trajectory generation, optimization, and path smoothing algorithms. Ankur's past experience includes working as an Intern at MathWorks, where he contributed to creating end-to-end path planning for self-driving cars from global planning to behavior selection to finally generating local trajectories. He also worked as a Research Assistant at IIIT Hyderabad, where he worked on the systematic approach for automatic attaching and detaching of multiagent robots for cooperative exploration. Ankur's educational background includes a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Industrial Engineering from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) and an ICSE from Bishop Johnson School. With over 8 years of relevant experience, Ankur is a skilled Software Engineer and Research Scientist.
