Summary
Fayyaz Chemban is a Senior Robotics Engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering autonomous navigation stacks, model-predictive and kinematic controllers, and embedded firmware for commercial and research robots. Based in Abu Dhabi, he has led navigation teams at the Technology Innovation Institute and driven architecture and integration efforts from sensor fusion and localization to drive-by-wire interfaces. Comfortable across C, C++ and Python, he bridges algorithm development and production-grade systems using ROS/ROS2, Gazebo, qpOASES/ACADO and common automotive protocols like CAN. He has a track record of turning research into deployable autonomy—building global/local planners, custom global planners, and over-the-air update pipelines—and has mentored large student cohorts and competition teams, reflecting a strong teaching and leadership bent. Notably, he combines deep control-theory knowledge with practical embedded design, enabling full-stack autonomy from firmware to high-level path planning.
