About Baudouin

Robotics Engineer | Mechatronics | Automation | Embedded AI 🤖

Does your automated system, initially designed as anMVP**, lack **autonomyand show its limitations in scaling up and evolving its **features**?

I step in to enhance existing bases or develop new robust automated systems combining **robotics**, **mechatronics**, and **artificial intelligence**. The goal is to transform your needs into a reliable, maintainable tool designed for evolution.

With a double master's degree inengineeringand **robotics**, I have worked on various projects such as:
  • Autonomous robotic systems (mobile robot, robotic arm, navigation, control)
  • Development of perception and vision solutions (2D/3D vision, detection, AI)
  • Complete mechatronic design: sensors, actuators, electronics, prototyping
  • Automation of processes and special machines to improve reliability and productivity
This diversity allows me to quickly adapt to your constraints (technical, industrial, or field-related) and deliverconcrete**, **tested**, and **documentedsolutions.

My approach issystem-orientedand **long-term**: clear architectures, simulation, testing, field validation, and modular design to ensure stable performance in real environments.

Key Stacks:Mobile Robotics, ROS, C++, Python, Embedded Systems, RTOS, Mechatronics, Computer Vision, Embedded AI, Automation, Numerical Simulation..
