Back to original languageAbout Cyril
Passionate about the fields at the intersection of robotics and AI, I am an engineer with 14 years of experience in software development for service robotics, computer vision, with also expertise in rapid prototyping of complete robotic solutions including electronics and mechanics.
I have worked on a series of bio-inspired humanoids as well as mobile robots, where I used my skills in ROS/ROS2, C/C++, CANopen, SLAM, 3D cameras, and robotic prototyping with CAD design, 3D printing, and PCBs. My training in entrepreneurship as well as my experience in innovation marketing means I have both a technical and market vision for projects. I enjoy following cutting-edge technologies in my field and learning new skills.
I can particularly assist you in the following areas:
- Development and realization of a robotics proof of concept (POC)
- Development and realization of a robot prototype
- Development under ROS2 and simulation
- Consulting on choices regarding software (OS, programming languages, libraries, AI) and hardware (embedded PC, 2D/3D camera, sensors, motors)
Do you have a project to carry out? Contact me to start a discussion and I will be happy to reply!
Let's develop tomorrow's technologies together. See you soon!
