Julia Ebert is an autonomy lead and robotics software engineer with 11 years of experience designing distributed decision-making and multi-robot systems. She transitioned from a PhD at Harvard on self-organizing robot swarms to industry roles building mission planning and fleet autonomy, now leading autonomy at Fleet Robotics in Boston. Her background spans simulation for space situational awareness, human motor-control experiments, and mapping high-dimensional movements—skills she leverages to bridge rigorous research with production-grade systems. Known for making robots “work together,” she combines theory in collective behavior with practical implementation of planners and simulators. A Computational Science Graduate Fellow and Siebel Scholar, she brings deep academic credentials plus hands-on experience shipping autonomous fleet features. Colleagues appreciate that she pairs analytical rigor with an emphasis on deployable, collaborative robotic behaviors.
