I design and build end-to-end intelligent systems — from SLAM-based robot navigation on Jetson Nano hardware to AI-integrated automation pipelines that run on free-tier cloud infrastructure. Systems, not demos.

From sensor data to autonomous decisions.

I'm a third-year EEE student and early-stage researcher at the University of Asia Pacific, Bangladesh. As team leader of a three-member robotics group, I'm building a fully autonomous mobile robot — from hardware integration on NVIDIA Jetson Nano to software orchestration with ROS2, SLAM Toolbox, and Nav2.

My work doesn't stop at the robot. I build AI-integrated automation pipelines that bridge physical systems with cloud intelligence: weekly AI digest systems, academic automation with RAG, and live team monitoring dashboards. I treat free-tier infrastructure as a design constraint, not a limitation — and it makes me build smarter.

I'm actively targeting fully funded MSc or Research Assistant positions in autonomous systems, embedded AI, and robotics for 2026–27.

Manuscript In Preparation

[Paper Title — Update Before Deploying]

Sadnan Sajid · [Coauthors] · University of Asia Pacific, Bangladesh

Research on autonomous mobile robot navigation integrating ROS2-based SLAM with AI-enhanced decision-making. The system addresses real-time mapping and navigation challenges using SLAM Toolbox, Nav2, and sensor fusion with LiDAR and RGB-D cameras on resource-constrained edge hardware (NVIDIA Jetson Nano). Evaluation focuses on map consistency under sensor noise and navigation performance in dynamic environments.
