Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenneth Blomqvist is a robotics-focused entrepreneur and engineer with 13 years of experience building production-grade software and robotic systems. As CEO and co-founder of Witty Machines he leads the creation of dexterous food-industry robots that automate tasks previously thought infeasible, drawing on a strong blend of math, code, and product judgment. His doctoral research at ETH Zürich advanced few-shot 3D perception, reconstruction, autolabeling and self-supervised learning methods that bridge academic ideas to industrial-grade autonomy. Earlier roles span founding-stage engineering at Wolt and Webflow, hands-on ML and sim2real work at Aalto (including a Unity-based autonomous race car), and full-stack development across startups. Comfortable moving between research and shipping products, he combines deep probabilistic and perception expertise with real-world logistics and automation experience. Based in Zurich, he’s as likely to prototype a grasping pipeline as he is to iterate on a dispatch optimization service.
