Summary
Luka Eerens is a Head of Digital Transformation and robotics engineer with nine years of international experience spanning startups, academia and product leadership, grounded in an MRSD from Carnegie Mellon. He combines deep expertise in machine learning, computer vision and mechatronics with hands-on product delivery—from co-founding and running a robotic startup at CMU to commercialising AI tools at Conjecture. Luka has driven end-to-end hardware-software development for vertical farming and education robotics, holds a patent-pending ML technique and has published at a top ML conference. Trilingual and comfortable in high-pressure, cross-functional roles, he excels at translating research-grade algorithms into customer-facing products and operational change. An uncommon strength is his track record of shipping both physical systems (injection-moulded consumer robots, vertical farms) and cutting-edge multimodal ML prototypes, bridging labs and markets.
