Summary
Eduardo Ruiz is a computer vision researcher and robotics specialist with 11 years' experience bridging academic research and industry, currently working on visual perception at Vaarst and Rovco in Bristol. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bristol where he developed real-time 3D affordance detection and open-source robotic vision tools, and has applied reinforcement learning for UAV navigation during his MSc. His background spans RGB-D sensing, visual SLAM, ROS/Gazebo experiments and hands-on robot systems from humanoids to mobile platforms, enabling practical deployment of perception algorithms. Comfortable moving between research and product contexts, he combines rigorous geometric approaches with applied engineering to solve real-world underwater and robotic vision challenges. A longtime contributor to reproducible research and open-source code, he also maintains repositories under eduardo-r / eduardo-ruiz-drc that document his experimental toolchain and demos.
