Intrinsic

Software Engineer

Open Robotics

At Open Robotics, I was the "ROS Boss" of the Humble (LTS) release of ROS 2. This involved extensive collaboration with various stakeholders and the development of new infrastructure to streamline the release process.

To address a need in the testing process, I designed and implemented a Test Case Manager tool in Typescript. This tool automates the creation of test cases for different platform permutations and has been employed in several key releases, including ROS 2 Humble, ROS 2 Iron, and Gazebo Garden.

In addition to these responsibilities, I worked on various other projects that required a wide range of technical skills. These included debugging multithreaded executor issues, designing C++ client library features for Nvidia, contributing to NASA's VIPER mission, and integrating different UAV frameworks under a common API.

Robohub

As the Podcast Director at Robohub, I managed an international team and conducted over 100 interviews with key figures in the robotics field. The variety of our interviewees, from academics to industry leaders, allowed us to present a comprehensive view of the sector.

I led the team in expanding our podcast's monthly listenership from 2k to 120k and secured $20k in academic sponsorships. This growth and financial support helped to sustain our operations and extend our reach.

During my tenure, we produced and released 160 podcast episodes. This consistent output, combined with our increased listenership and financial support, illustrates my focus on steady growth and commitment to sharing knowledge in the robotics community.

I work at Intrinsic AI, where I am a software engineer. I am also the host of the Audrow Nash Podcast. Previously, I hosted the Sense Think Act podcast and led Robohub's podcast. Outside of robotics, I rock climb.

Audrow Nash

I am a multidisciplinary robotics engineer with a passion for education and lifelong learning and teaching. My professional interests include complex software systems, task and motion planning, decision-making, and abstractions for representing robot behavior. As a systems-minded person, I also dabble in modeling and simulation, control systems, computer vision, and machine learning.

Most of what I enjoy has a strong educational focus. In my daily activities, I value learning and teaching new skills, as well as mentoring younger generations or people who have arrived into robotics from less traditional backgrounds. I have an acute sense of empathy for how difficult this field can be -- especially for those who grew up without constant access to resources -- and am always thinking about how to make it more accessible to newcomers. In other words, I am unequivocally a proponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workforce.

I'm happy to connect and hear from you... unless you're trying to sell me things or hire me to make weapons.
