Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Goodrich is a Perception and ML Engineer with a PhD in Computer Engineering and 12 years of experience applying deep learning and reinforcement learning to robotic perception and manipulation. Based in San Francisco, he moved from a long research stint at Osaro to Tacta Systems to focus on production-grade perception systems and imitation learning, particularly Vision Language Action models. His doctoral work exposed practical pitfalls like catastrophic forgetting in value-function approximation, a nuance he brings to designing robust continual-learning pipelines. Ben blends academic rigor with hands-on systemization of end-effector perception, making him adept at turning cutting-edge research into deployable robotic capabilities.
