Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFabian Schramm is a PhD student in robotics at Inria and ENS Paris with seven years of experience bridging control, learning, and software engineering for dynamic locomotion and manipulation. His work spans applied research and production-grade open-source development—he contributed core algorithms and unit tests to the widely used Pinocchio rigid-body dynamics library, including configuration-limit handling and robust URDF parsing. Prior roles include reinforcement-learning control for a lower-limb exoskeleton at Wandercraft and systems identification and control at Bosch, giving him a strong mix of experimental, simulation, and embedded-system experience. Trained in mechanical engineering and robotics at TUM, Tokyo, and UFRJ, he combines rigorous theoretical grounding with hands-on implementation, and he often focuses on integrating optimal control with RL in agile robotic systems. An understated strength is his attention to software quality in research code, evidenced by his test-driven contributions to foundational tools.

A fast and flexible implementation of Rigid Body Dynamics algorithms and their analytical derivatives
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer & Algorithm Implementer
Back-end Developer & Algorithm ImplementerContributions:8 reviews, 32 commits, 17 PRs in 5 months
Contributions summary:Fabian contributed to the core library of the `pinocchio` repository, implementing and modifying algorithms related to rigid body dynamics. Their work includes adding functionality for handling configuration limits within the joint models and the overall model structure. They also implemented an "appendModel" function and fixed relative path handling for URDF parsing. Furthermore, they created unittests to validate these new functionalities and to ensure correct mesh loading.
