Senior🎓
Top SchoolBo Buckley is a robotics systems engineer and acoustician with a decade of experience building open-source robotics, assistive technologies, and acoustical software/hardware from concept to fielded prototypes. He founded and ran an acoustics consultancy where he created measurement rigs, signal-processing tools, and Omny VR to modernize architectural auralization, pairing client-facing consulting with embedded and desktop tooling. At OIST and through independent R&D he led full-stack integrations—Android apps, RP2040 firmware, custom PCBs, CV pipelines, and reproducible Docker-based build workflows—demonstrating fluency across mechatronics, control, and perception. His projects span autonomous beach-cleaning robots to wearable haptic navigation devices for the visually impaired, emphasizing accessibility and real-world testing. An active maintainer of robotics and embedded repos, he’s comfortable refactoring legacy mobile code and shipping dependable developer tooling. Based in Okinawa, he blends rigorous MSc-level acoustics training with hands-on electronics and software craft to turn research prototypes into reproducible, deployable systems.
