Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Kutzer is an associate professor and robotics researcher with a decade of experience designing electromechanical systems, kinematic/dynamic models, and visual-feedback control for manipulation and continuum mechanisms. He blends hands-on hardware integration and rapid prototyping—using C, Python, MATLAB, and SolidWorks—with rigorous system calibration, optimization, and batch data processing for motion capture and computer vision tasks. His career spans academia and applied R&D at the Johns Hopkins APL and industry (Interi Systems), where he led telemanipulation efforts and project-managed robotics infrastructure for EOD systems. Known for turning first-generation concepts into feasible demonstrations, he leverages additive manufacturing and modular design to accelerate assessment of novel mechanisms. Based in Annapolis, he pairs a JHU PhD in mechanical engineering with practical experience integrating custom and commercial electromechanical hardware for real-world systems.
