Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRemo Diethelm is a robotics software engineer and entrepreneur with 12 years of experience building robust navigation, mapping, and kinematics software from research to product. As a co-founder and Principal Software Architect at ANYbotics he led core libraries like elevation_mapping, grid_map and kindr, contributing stability, ROS integration, and nuanced fixes around quaternion math and CI that keep field robots reliable in rough terrain. Now based in Zurich and embarking on climate-focused hacking at 42hacks, he blends systems-level engineering with mission-driven projects. Trained at ETH Zurich (MSc Mechanical Engineering), he pairs rigorous academic foundations with pragmatic engineering practices honed across lab and startup environments. Beyond features, he’s known for polishing edge cases—test fixes, tolerance tuning, and cross-version compatibility—that make complex robotic stacks maintainable in production.

ANYbotics/grid_map
Dec 2014 - Jan 2023
Universal grid map library for mobile robotic mapping
Role in this project:Full-stack Developer
Full-stack DeveloperContributions:19 commits, 11 PRs, 10 pushes in 8 years 2 months
Contributions summary:Remo contributed to the core functionality and infrastructure of the `grid_map` library. They enhanced the `add` function and added an empty constructor. The user also addressed incorrect assertions within the library. Furthermore, they fixed a test case and merged branches related to ROS integration and OpenCV conversion, displaying knowledge of different ROS versions and related packages.
