Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Trueblood is a firmware engineer and builder with 11 years of experience designing embedded systems, robotic motion control, and creative human-machine interfaces. He co-founded Haploid.co to deliver custom robotic systems and has led engineering for art-technology projects that blend real-time control, simulation, and AI-directed behaviors. His work spans low-level firmware at startups like Tulip Interfaces and Looking Glass to large, site-specific installations—most notably orchestration of multi-robot, camera, and heliostat systems for a Pierre Huyghe project in the Atacama Desert. Owen combines practical embedded expertise with creative tooling: real-time planners, Houdini authoring pipelines, and purpose-built LLM chains for art-directable behavior. Now based in New York and currently at Tomorrow Lab, he brings an interdisciplinary approach that finds “life in complex systems,” pairing rigorous EE/CS training from MIT with hands-on delivery in both product and arts contexts.
