Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Crawley is the founder of Ubiquity Robotics, combining a Physics PhD and Cambridge postdoc pedigree with a McKinsey and Cypress Semiconductor background to build practical, easy-to-deploy mobile robot platforms and bespoke robotic systems for warehouses and factories. He blends deep technical know-how—multiple patents and highly cited papers in THz imaging and semiconductor physics—with hands-on product and operations experience in lean development, supply chain, and rapid cycle-time reduction. David’s company aims to lower the cost and time barrier for robot entrepreneurs by shipping integrated bases with navigation, compute, and power ready out of the box. A former head of strategic initiatives, he brings proven impact scaling from factory floor improvements to multimillion-dollar product launches and organizational transformation. Author of The People Equation, he emphasizes that innovation is driven by people as much as technology. Based in San Jose, he continues to consult across business and technical fronts, often accelerating solutions by drawing on prior work that has already tackled similar use cases.
