Bharath Sankaran

Robotics MSE '12 - Software Engineering Manager, Meta

I am currently with the Reality Labs at Meta in Zürich.  Before Meta, I did a brief stint at ANYbotics where I was first their VP of Product and later I led their manipulation effort. Prior to these, I co-founded Naska.AI (formerly Scaled Robotics) where I served as CTO for 7 years. I’m generally interested in leveraging movement and interaction to solve complex real-world perception problems. For more than a decade, I worked on various problems in autonomy for ground, aerial, and humanoid robots. Now I have focused my attention on developing deep tech AR/VR products utilizing the state of art in Artificial Intelligence, leveraging mainly computer vision, graphics, machine learning, sensor fusion and hardware.
I have been lucky to spend more than a decade working as a robotics researcher at some of the world’s leading robotics labs. My alma mater includes the Computational Learning and Motor Control Laboratory (USC), the Max Planck Institute’s Autonomous Motion Department, the GRASP Laboratory (UPenn), and the Robotics Institute (CMU) just to name a few.
