Lead Engineer Robotics at AgXeed
Netherlands
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRein Appeldoorn is a Lead Engineer in robotics with 12 years of deep hands-on experience building full-stack robot software from embedded drivers to topological task execution. He has driven architecture and on-board software at Lowpad and now leads robotics engineering at AgXeed, specializing in localization, navigation, control systems and deployment/configuration tooling for fleet-scale operation. Rein combines academic rigor from a Control Systems master's with practical expertise in ROS, C++ and Python, and has a strong track record in RoboCup @Home where his world modeling and HRI work helped win world championships. Comfortable across simulation, hardware-in-loop and production robots, he’s equally at home writing low-level sensor interfaces or designing high-level task planners—an engineer who quietly moves projects from lab demos to reliable fielded systems.
