Joseph Neiger is a software engineer with 11 years' experience building autonomy and swarm robotics systems, spanning low-level firmware to high-level AI and optimization. He has led full-stack robotic software teams (RoboJackets, The A Team) and developed real-time ML models and multi-camera trackers to improve ball-state estimation and decision-making for autonomous soccer. At the Air Force Research Laboratory he architected a swarm autonomy framework bridging simulation and hardware-in-the-loop, and built CI/CD and tooling to accelerate research. Currently at Nuro he focuses on behavior evaluation and synthetic agent behaviors for autonomous vehicles. Notably, he implemented core ball-sensing functionality in the widely used RoboJackets RoboCup codebase and regularly translates research ideas into production-ready systems.

Contributions summary:Joseph implemented core ball-sensing functionality within the RoboJackets software for RoboCup Small Size League. This involved creating and defining a `ball_sense` class in C++ to determine if an emitter-to-receiver beam is broken, indicating the presence of the ball. The user's contributions included the creation of a header and source file for ball sensing, as well as the integration of the new class into the `main.cpp` file.
