Guillaume Doisy is a robotics leader with a decade of hands-on experience designing and delivering autonomous mobile robot systems, currently serving as VP Autonomous Systems at Dexory. A ROS1/ROS2 specialist and active nav2 contributor, he has improved core planner and controller logic, added behavior trees and dynamic parameterization, and helped maintain the ROS 2 Navigation Framework and its documentation. His background spans system architecture and leadership roles—from Chief Robotics Officer at Wyca to Lead System Architect at Dexory—combining research-grade rigor (PhD in Robotics/Human Factors) with product-focused execution. He has modernized 3D voxel-based navigation layers and migrated legacy components to contemporary ROS distributions, showing deep familiarity with PointCloud2, tf2, and performance debugging. Based in London, he pairs technical stewardship of open-source navigation software with practical deployment experience in commercial AMRs. An adventurous communicator, he even documented an Atlantic sailing voyage, underscoring curiosity and resilience beyond the lab.
