About this event

Behind every Matic Robot is a powerful, vision-only autonomy stack running entirely on edge devices. But what does it really take to make that possible? In this AMA, we go under the hood with Vivek Bagaria, Matic’s autonomy lead and the driving force behind the company’s adoption of Rust. Learn how Matic leveraged Rust to build a high-performance autonomy stack (without using ROS). Vivek will share insights from his experience developing camera-only SLAM, real-time photorealistic 3D mapping, camera calibration, and robust core infrastructure, all running on a Nvidia Jetson Nano. Vivek has spent the past five years pushing the limits of what consumer robotics can do. This conversation goes beyond autonomy algorithms to explore how Rust is reshaping the future of robotics, from embedded systems and edge computing to core infrastructure. Whether you're a roboticist or a Rustacean, this is an AMA you don’t want to miss. About Vivek: Vivek Bagaria leads the autonomy stack at Matic Robots. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and a Bachelor's from IIT Madras. At Matic, he introduced Rust and spearheaded its adoption across the whole software stack — establishing robust technical foundations throughout the company.
