Luis Pacheco is an Assistant Professor and multidisciplinary researcher blending robotics, computational design, and digital fabrication with 11 years of hands-on experience in building custom software and hardware toolchains for robotic fabrication and additive manufacturing. He founded NEOBRUTAL Studio and led Mexico’s first 3D printer company, MakerMex, where he launched educational platforms and developed bespoke fabrication machines, reflecting a rare combination of product-led entrepreneurship and academic R&D. At Florida International University’s RDF Lab and now Florida Atlantic University, he prototypes systems that integrate real-time robotic control, simulation, procedural modeling, and sensor feedback to deploy robotics across architecture, education, and manufacturing. A strong advocate for open-source and accessible platforms, he pairs his MRAC master’s from IAAC with ongoing doctoral work at FIU to translate research into practical automation solutions. Notably, his career bridges running operations and teaching with novel end-effector and toolchain design—making him adept at moving concepts from shop-floor prototypes to deployed, collaborative workflows.
