Short Bio

Ashok Meenakshi Sundaram works as a researcher on robotic grasping and manipulation in the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) since 2016. He received his master's degree in Autonomous Systems from Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences in 2016 and his bachelor's degree in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering from Anna University in 2010. During his master studies, he also successfully participated in many RoboCup competitions as a member of the b-it-bots team. Between 2010 and 2013, he worked as a software developer at the Tata Consultancy Services.
