about me

Hello,

I'M Satyapalsinh Gohil

A dedicated a Robotics Engineer with a Master of Science in Mechatronics and Robotics from New York University (NYU). My journey began at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, where I actively contributed to SRM Team Robocon for three years, gaining hands-on experience in robotic system design and integration. Following my undergraduate studies, I joined Honda R&D as a Research Engineer, where I spent two years designing, optimizing and testing vehicle components, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and driving continuous improvement in design and manufacturing workflows.

At NYU’s AI4CE Lab, I worked on advanced perception systems, designing and prototyping robust sensor mounts for self-driving platforms. This involved integrating multiple sensors such as LIDARs, GPS-RTK, and cameras—emphasizing structural reliability, vibration dampening, and modularity for real-world data collection.

Currently, I am involved in the mechanical development at LevitatePro Inc., building an IoT-based DSLR device. My work focuses on electro-mechanical integration, thermal optimization, and rapid prototyping using SolidWorks and 3D printing—guided by DFM and tolerance analysis for manufacturing readiness.

I’m passionate about creating robust, scalable robotic systems that bridge innovation and real-world application. My goal is to contribute to the future of automation and intelligent systems by building reliable, efficient, and human-centric technologies.

my Experience

AI4CE Lab
New York University



As a Graduate Researcher, I designed sensor mounts for self-driving cars using SolidWorks, prioritizing structural integrity and reliability for accurate data collection. Applied modular design principles to enhance flexibility and scalability, conducting rigorous prototyping for optimal performance. Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, I refined designs based on feedback, which deepened my technical skills and understanding of autonomous vehicles and the significance of collaborative research.

Honda R&D
INDIA



As a Research Engineer, I designed vehicle frames and exterior body parts using CATIA V5, creating 2D drawings and documentation within PLM platforms. I conducted structural analysis through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to address market quality issues and collaborated with teams on cost reduction strategies. Leading a team of four, I developed a 3-DOF variable engine holding mechanism, improving inspection efficiency by 30% and reducing workforce requirements by 50%.

N.R. Tech
Poly Plast



Led an industry collaborative project to develop an Injection Moulding Parts Removal Robot, automating the parts removal process to enhance production efficiency. I designed a 3D model and validated it using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure structural integrity. By selecting optimal hardware based on analysis results, we achieved a 250% increase in production efficiency, deepening my skills in robotics, automation, and project management.

Robocon Lab
SRM University



At Robocon Lab, SRMIST, I designed omnidirectional robot drives and manipulators in SolidWorks, leading fabrication processes like soldering and 3D printing. I developed kinematic and dynamic models for a 3-DOF manipulator for pick-and-place operations and simulated motion control in MATLAB, collaborating with teams to enhance robotic system's functionality, and solidifying my technical skills and passion for engineering.

ABU Robocon 2018

We Designed robots that mimic the traditional game of shuttlecock throwing. The objective is to score points by throwing shuttlecocks through rings. A manual robot collects these shuttlecocks and passes them to an automatic robot. The automatic robot's task is to aim for the rings, with the potential to win instantly if a golden shuttlecock lands in a golden cup. This contest involves specific criteria for team members, robot design, field dimensions, scoring, and safety considerations.
