Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Pfreundschuh is a PhD candidate in robotics at ETH Zurich with eight years of hands-on experience in localization, perception, and robotic learning. He has contributed to high-impact robotics projects—from leading software for the VariLeg exoskeleton and coaching multidisciplinary student teams to developing perception modules for DARPA SubT and industrial picking robots. His work spans research and production: master thesis on dynamic object detection for LiDAR SLAM, robotics software engineering in competitive field trials, and internships that turned prototypes into product components. Based in Zurich, he blends rigorous academic training with practical systems engineering and a demonstrated ability to communicate complex projects to broad audiences (media-covered VariLeg). A practical tinkerer as well as a researcher, he pairs mechanical shop experience with advanced sensing and learning for robust autonomy.
