Summary
Josep-arnau Robert is a Robotics Software Developer with 13 years of experience and a strong academic background (M.Sc. in Automatic Control and Robotics and Ph.D. work on redundancy management). He has hands-on expertise across industrial and social robots (KUKA LWR, Pepper, Staubli, Yaskawa, Schunk hand, mobile manipulators) and excels in kinematics, redundancy resolution, task-priority control and low-level robot communication. Proficient in C/C++, Python, ROS/Orocos and tools from Matlab to Qt and MongoDB, he pairs algorithm design and mathematical analysis with production-grade implementation and optimization. His background spans research (IOC UPC), industry (Hexagon, Aeolus) and bespoke engineering—building a C++/Qt solution for online trajectory editing in glass-melting Yaskawa cells. He also brings two years of applied machine learning experience (NLP, feature engineering) that informs perception and decision layers in robotic systems. Based in Barcelona, he combines academic rigor with practical deployments across multi-robot networks and human-robot interaction projects.
