Summary
Dan Lillrank is a Robotics Software Engineer and RL researcher with nine years of experience applying navigation, perception, and learning methods to real-world robotic systems across Sweden and Japan. Currently a System Engineer in AI Design at Saab, he has led research teams and shipped perception-motion integrations and automation workflows for companies like Telexistence and QBIT Robotics. His expertise spans SLAM, odometry, path planning, computer vision, and deep reinforcement/imitation learning, with hands-on work building data pipelines, multi-object tracking, and cloud-enabled analytics. He combines academic rigor from KTH and Kyoto University with practical system integration—often acting as the bridge between research prototypes and production-ready robot software. An intriguing throughline in his career is multidisciplinary work linking neuroscience and brain-robot interfaces, reflecting a longer-term interest in embodied learning beyond standard robotics stacks.
