Back to original languageAbout Thibault
I lead SIZA Robotics and, with my team, develop all-terrain autonomous machines and robots, from design to commissioning.
We support manufacturers and machinery players on complex projects, combining mechatronics, power electronics, embedded software, and energy systems.
I work at the interface between technology and usage, playing a central role in defining machine architectures, sensor and actuator integration, embedded software development, and autonomy strategies.
We offer comprehensive support: mechanical system design (chassis, integration), electronic development (PCB, power, wiring harnesses), embedded and application software, electrification and hybridization, hydraulics, and product design.
We operate from the upstream phase to industrialization: scoping, design, prototyping, testing, validation, and small-scale production.
