Summary
Maxime Riou is an Autonomy Engineer based in the Lausanne area with four years of professional experience building robotic perception and control at Flyability. Trained at EPFL with a Master's in Robotics and a Bachelor's in Microengineering, he combines strong academic foundations with hands-on product development in challenging environments. At Flyability he progressed from intern to engineer, contributing to autonomy systems for inspection drones that operate in confined, GPS-denied spaces. He focuses on turning research-grade algorithms into robust, deployable software for real-world robotic platforms. Comfortable across the stack of sensing, state estimation, and control, he brings practical experience integrating algorithms with hardware constraints. Colleagues describe him as methodical and results-driven, with a knack for making complex robotics systems reliable under operational pressure.
