Summary
Florence Tsang is an engineering leader and robotics developer with eight years of experience building production autonomy for large fleets. She currently manages the Planning and Controls team at Avidbots, guiding delivery of navigation, path planning, and safety features while remaining hands-on with ROS, C++, and Python development. Her background in reinforcement learning research and published work in motion planning gives her a strong foundation in algorithm design that she pairs with pragmatic system integration for real-world robots. Florence has scaled systems for 1,000+ floor-scrubbing robots, balancing team priorities, capacity planning, and cross-functional collaboration to move features from prototype to robust deployment. Comfortable across research, software engineering, and product impact, she brings both technical depth and operational discipline to autonomy programs. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, she blends academic rigor from a Waterloo MSc with practical QA and embedded experience earlier in her career.
