Senior🎓
Top SchoolMohamed Raessa is a robotics team lead and engineer with nine years of experience turning teleoperated platforms into production-ready autonomous systems, currently leading robotics development at Avatarin in Tokyo. He combines a Ph.D. in robotic manipulation from Osaka University with hands-on expertise in ROS 2, MoveIt 2, Isaac Sim, real-time CAN interfaces, and motion planning to deliver dexterous single- and dual-arm manipulation systems and a ROS 2–based autonomous Newme robot. Mohamed has shipped high-fidelity digital twins, built low-latency data pipelines for ML-driven manipulation, and established CI/CD, testing, and onboarding practices that scale team productivity. A committed mentor and open-source contributor, he maintains practical tooling and tutorials (including repos on hand-eye calibration and constrained motion planning) while continuing to prototype ROS-based robots and new control architectures outside of work.
