About this Candidate

DAVRON CV: Candidate 3809728

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER | MEDICAL ROBOTICS, CONTROL SYSTEMS & POWER ELECTRONICS

Core Expertise

  • Medical robotics systems design, ROS 1/ROS 2 autonomy, and real-time robotic control.
  • Power electronics design, PCB prototyping, microcontroller firmware development, and validation testing.
  • Perception integration for image-guided interventions, synchronizing sensing with robotic motion planning.
  • Simulation-driven verification using Gazebo and RViz to de-risk hardware behaviors before deployment.
  • Hands-on prototyping: SolidWorks CAD, 3D printing, mechanical assembly, and bench instrumentation.

Project Background

  • Developed modular ROS 2 autonomy and impedance/admittance control for cooperative robotic arm motions.
  • Synchronized imaging acquisition with robot trajectories to enable systematic multi-view clinical coverage.
  • Built Gazebo and RViz simulation environments to identify failure modes and validate system fixes.
  • Executed phantom and ex‑vivo experiments to characterize workflow accuracy and support site demonstrations.
  • Benchmarked segmentation models and created an accuracy–efficiency metric for edge-deployable inference.
