Looking for a jobROS 2 Developer
I build autonomous robotic navigation systems for industrial and mobile robots.
ColombiaROS 2 Developer at Forklift Robot B.V.
About
At Forklift Robot B.V., I develop ROS 2 navigation and perception software for an industrial autonomous forklift, using RTAB-Map, Nav2, AprilTag vision, EKF sensor fusion, and NVIDIA Jetson deployment.
I’ve also led autonomous navigation research that achieved 22 cm positioning error and 98.7% route consistency, while building robotic legs, aerial vehicles, and an Arduino-controlled educational hand prosthesis.
