Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Urbain is a robotics and vision engineer with 11 years of experience bridging electronics, computer science and aerospace, currently finishing a PhD in compliant quadruped locomotion at Ghent University and working on applied robotics at Takeda and IBA. He has deep hands-on experience scaling early-stage robotics software—having helped grow Exobotic from its infancy—and now consults through his own firm _rbai_. His background spans high-performance machine learning for legged systems (visited IIT’s HyQ lab), embedded systems and semantic search interfaces, reflecting a rare mix of low-level control and higher-level perception. Based in Ghent, he leverages academic rigor from MIT and Supaero alongside pragmatic industry delivery, often translating biologically inspired principles into robust industrial solutions. An inventive practitioner, he combines PhD-level research with startup agility and consulting breadth.
