Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManuel Baum is a Senior Robotics Software Engineer based in Berlin with 13 years of experience spanning robotic manipulation, perception, sensor fusion, control, and machine learning. He combines deep academic research—culminating in PhD-level work on multimodality and interactive perception applied to mechanical objects—with hands-on development of manipulation and motion planning in industry. His research included an unusual cross-disciplinary collaboration with behavioral biologists studying cockatoo problem-solving to inform robust robotic strategies. At Organifarms he progressed from robotics engineer to senior lead, bringing research-grade state estimation and control techniques into product settings. Manuel is comfortable bridging theory and practice to make perception and manipulation more robust in real-world, mechanically complex environments.
