Jaine Perotti is a Robotics Engineer living in Richmond, Vermont. She graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh in 2022 with dual bachelor’s degrees in Robotics and Physics. She works for a Vermont-based company which specializes in custom subsea robotics software and several marine robots designed to perform different tasks.

Jaine has been involved mainly in mapping and navigation software. Her software will be deployed on the US Navy’s fleet of EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) robots in order to map and track mines in the water. Her current project is developing SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) software to help improve navigation accuracy on a ship hull-cleaning robot. Customers of the ship-hull cleaning service include major cruise lines. Jaine will be giving a talk on her career trajectory, from her college education all the way up through her current projects.
