Jyothish J. Kumar
A chemistry graduate (M.Sc., NISER Bhubaneswar) turned self-taught full-stack roboticist. I design and build robotic systems end to end — electronics, firmware, and ROS2 software — across UAVs, healthcare IoT, and autonomous-vehicle perception.
Affybo Systems
A robotics startup building drone-based mid-mile and last-mile delivery for complex terrain and medical logistics — alongside solutions for infrastructure inspection and defence.
What I work with
Programming
ROS2 and embedded C++/Python are my daily tools; Flutter and MAVLink round out companion apps and drone comms.
Development boards
Comfortable across MCU and SBC platforms, including custom boards and PX4-based autopilot systems.
CAD / CAM & fabrication
4+ years designing mechanical assemblies and PCBs, and fabricating them end to end.
Electronics
From schematic to enclosure — component selection, MCU/PLC signal handling, and common comms protocols.
Chemistry background
Academic background from my M.Sc. — the analytical rigor still shows up in how I approach engineering problems.
Other tools
For papers, documentation, graphics, and the occasional demo video.
