Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArnoud Visser is a senior lecturer and robotics researcher based in Amsterdam with 14 years of experience focused on multi-robot systems, efficient world representations, and simulation of perception and behavior selection. He has led and managed national and international projects spanning robot calibration, control architectures, action planning, SLAM, object recognition and virtual sensing, often serving as local project manager. At the University of Amsterdam he progressed from researcher to assistant professor and now senior lecturer, and served as program manager for the DECIS cooperation early in his career where he helped craft the research and business plans. Recent visiting research roles at ESA, TNO and TU Delft highlight a hands-on focus on practical localization, room classification and flexible-grid SLAM for real-world platforms. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Computer Science) with applied systems work, bridging long-term research goals with concrete implementations on platforms like Spot and autonomous vehicles. Colleagues know him for turning complex, multi-agent research problems into manageable project outcomes and simulations that drive experimentation.
