Hi everyone. Kshitij here. I have a Ph.D. in Robotics from Japan and my research interests are in path planning and SLAM for mobile robots and multi-agent teams. Check my publications: https://t.co/3SEDWXFBwK #Robotics #Robots

What if the most valuable lesson you learn from your PhD isn't about your research, but about yourself? It's about resilience, discipline, and the quiet confidence to keep going when everyone else would quit. #PhDLife #SelfImprovement

"PhD isn't a sprint but a marathon". Heard of this? Actually, it’s not. It's a series of sprints. You go all-in on one goal, celebrate the small wins, then recover. This strategy is key to avoiding burnout and finishing strong. #PhDLife #Mentorship

Most budding roboticists believe a great idea is enough. It's not. The hardest part is turning that idea into a functional plan, and then executing it. That's a skill. And it can be taught. #Robotics #ProblemSolving

If you feel lost and directionless in your PhD, remember this: Clarity isn't found by chance. It's discovered with purpose. I help students turn their frustration into a focused plan. #PhDLife #Mentorship

My mentorship isn't just about a one-time session. It's about having skin in the game. I'm invested in your success because your victory is a reflection of my work. This is more than a transaction; it's a partnership. #Mentorship #Robotics

My mentorship is built on one simple rule: no fluff. We don't waste time on cookie-cutter advice or generic checklists. We dive deep into your unique challenges to find real solutions. Because your time is the most valuable asset you have. #Mentorship #PhDLife

It takes more than a great idea to finish a PhD. It takes a purpose. You can have the best research topic in the world, but if you don't know why you're doing it, you'll lose momentum. My goal as a mentor is to help you find your "why." #PhDLife #Purpose

The difference between a finished PhD and a perpetual one often comes down to one thing: Clarity. The best research isn't a straight line. It's a series of questions, failures, and course corrections. A mentor can help you find your way through it. #PhDLife #Mentorship

Most aspiring roboticists believe they need a huge budget for hardware. But the truth is, the steepest learning curve is in simulation. Mastering the algorithms with free software first will save you years and thousands of dollars. #Robotics #STEMEducation

Before starting my PhD, I had a very limited view of what a researcher's life looked like. It's not about being a genius. It's about showing up, facing the unknown, and solving one small problem at a time. #PhDLife #LifeLessons

What is the single biggest fear you have about your PhD? Is it the research itself, the public speaking, the uncertainty, or something else entirely? Identifying the fear is the first step to conquering it. #PhDLife #AcademicMentalHealth

That overwhelming feeling when your PhD is supposed to be the "best time of your life," but it feels like the hardest? You're not doing it wrong. You just need a guide to help you find your purpose again. #PhDLife #AcademicTwitter

Finding your niche as a roboticist can feel impossible. The field is so broad. But my advice? Start small and get really good at one thing. Then, build on it and expand your skills. A narrow focus today leads to a broad career tomorrow. #Robotics #CareerAdvice

Getting your first robot to move is a huge win. But then what? The hardest part of robotics isn't getting it to work; it's getting it to do something useful. #Robotics #ProblemSolving

Ever wonder what the most valuable skill a budding roboticist can learn is? It's not C++ or ROS. It's the ability to find a mentor who has already walked the path you're on. It'll save you years of trial and error. #Robotics #CareerAdvice

I have mentored scholars for years. But I’ve learned that the most important thing I can teach them isn't about research or coding. It's about resilience. That's the real key to finishing your PhD with purpose. #PhDLife #MentorshipMatters

If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of papers you need to read, you're not alone. The secret isn't to read more, but to read with a purpose. It's a skill. And it’s one that can be taught. #PhDLife #ResearchTips

I often see early-stage PhD students with brilliant ideas. But they're paralyzed by the fear of being wrong. The truth? The only way to move forward is to risk being wrong. I’m here to guide you, not to give you all the answers. #PhDLife #AcademicTwitter

Most roboticists get stuck not because of a lack of skill, but because of a lack of clarity. The path from idea to functional robot is rarely a straight line. I'll help you find your starting point, so you can stop spinning your wheels. #Robotics #Mentorship

One of the biggest lessons from my own unconventional academic journey: progress isn't linear. Some days you're a genius, others you're back at square one. The real key is learning how to be your own safety net. #SelfMade #UnconventionalPath
