Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatharina K is a Senior Robotics Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience blending math, control theory, and software to build production robotic systems. She has driven end-to-end robotics projects—from dynamic modeling and force estimation on industrial manipulators to web-backed factory automation that tripled throughput and ran autonomously for hours. Proficient in ROS, Python, C++, computer vision, and full‑stack web tools, she bridges low-level control and operator-facing GUIs, having shipped vision-based pick-and-place systems and a sub-millimeter dental aligner trimming robot. Her background in cybernetics and hands-on work with UR and ABB robots is complemented by mentoring experience in self-driving car topics and a steady habit of lifelong learning via multiple Udacity nanodegrees. Not obvious from titles: she pairs rigorous simulation and friction modeling with pragmatic integrations like Slack alerts and web APIs to make complex automation resilient and maintainable.
