Summary
Michael Ohradzansky is a robotics software lead with nine years of experience bridging academic research and product development in autonomous aerial systems. He earned a Ph.D. focused on bioinspired nearness control for subterranean navigation, and his Team MARBLE project placed third in the DARPA Subterranean Challenge, demonstrating real-world performance of his LiDAR-based centering algorithms. Proficient in C++, Python, MATLAB, and ROS, he has led system integration, state estimation, and controller design efforts across startups and industry teams including Tortuga AgTech and Oishii. Michael’s work blends hands-on prototyping (CAD and 3D printing) with rigorous research in optic-flow and visual navigation for multi-rotor UAS, plus applied ML experience from an Amazon internship. Based in Broomfield, CO, he is known for turning bio-inspired sensing ideas into deployable robotic behaviors and for pragmatic system design that scales from lab demos to fielded solutions.
