Summary
Jakob Bak is a Robotics and Automation Specialist with 14 years of multidisciplinary experience spanning embedded software, motion control, electronics, DSP and interaction design. He excels at bridging product ideation and hands-on technical implementation, from prototyping haptic and 3D-printing hardware to building low-latency ROS and realtime Linux integrations for collaborative robots. Currently freelancing from Berlin, he’s leading control development and project management for a 4-axis gantry warehousing system that integrates Beckhoff hardware, CANopen devices and an ERP-connected UI/API. His background in people-centred research and EU-funded project leadership gives him a rare blend of user-focused strategy and deep hardware/software craftsmanship. Colleagues rely on him for solving high-complexity automation problems and for architecting the “nervous system” that makes machines move reliably in the real world.
