Top SchoolDavid Christensen is a Manufacturing Intelligence Specialist and robotics researcher with 15 years of experience bridging academic research, entrepreneurship, and industrial automation. He co-founded Shape Robotics to commercialize modular educational robots born from his PhD work, and now leads strategic manufacturing intelligence initiatives at Novo Nordisk, applying AI, edge/cloud, and advanced analytics to build the factory of the future. His background spans modular and self-reconfigurable robots, adaptive locomotion, and distributed control, with hands-on expertise in control strategies, rapid prototyping, and scalable morphology design.
