Mohamed Ibn Seddik is a marine robotics and autonomy expert with 13 years of experience building intelligence for surface and underwater vehicles, including engineering more than ten autonomous vessels. He led autonomy efforts at Sea Machines, helped secure roughly $17M in R&D funding during his PhD for a fleet-based underwater data-acquisition program, and now teaches and mentors robotics students as a Lead Instructor at MIT while founding blkSAIL. His work spans research and product delivery—from collision-avoidance sensor fusion and large-scale vehicle simulation to mission planning and middleware integrations (MOOS-IvP, Qt). Comfortable switching between academia and startups, he combines hands-on system design and field trials with grant-winning research leadership. An interesting thread through his career is repeatedly turning simulation and middleware advances into operational vessels that sail in real trials.
