Arun Kothari

Responsibilities:

• Developed a Unity-based AR/VR simulation environment for Navy Phase One MRO operations, rendering large-scale ship point clouds with Potree and enabling real-time multiplayer via Mirror Net, reducing manual inspection setup time by 40%.
• Configured Perforce version control and integrated SQL database to efficiently manage ship asset metadata, annotations, and bounding boxes, improving team collaboration and reducing integration issues by 70%
• Implemented advanced features including point cloud deletion, clash detection, and annotation tools, enhancing accuracy of ship inspections and enabling faster iteration for maintenance scenarios.
• Performed precise point cloud registration using ICP and RANSAC algorithms, ensuring accurate alignment of multi-sensor ship data for AR/VR MRO simulations.
• Currently developing a neural network-based system to automate UMV control previously handled via heuristic functions, targeting improved efficiency and more robust autonomous maintenance simulations.
