ARASH KALANTARI

I have over 10 years of industry experience as a Robotics Mechanical Engineer. After earning my PhD, I joined DAQRI, where I helped design the world's first wearable human-machine interface, the DAQRI Smart Helmet. In 2017, I joined NASA JPL and have been involved in some exciting projects, including the Mars Sample Recovery Helicopter and the Mars Rover 2020. I've also been the principal investigator of research projects like developing perching systems for Mars and leading hardware efforts in the DARPA Subterranean Challenge. Along the way, I've filed patents and shared my work at conferences, constantly learning and growing...
