Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Williams is a Head of Robotics and Electronics with 12 years’ experience translating computer vision, machine learning and mechatronics research into deployed products across logistics and food tech. He combines hands-on engineering—building edge PyTorch inference platforms, vision/LIDAR/RFID tracking and collaborative robot test rigs—with strategic leadership in hiring, architecture and supply-chain negotiation. At Karakuri he led the mechatronics team to ship MVPs and pioneered soft-gripper pick-and-place solutions, and more recently he has progressed to head up robotics at Dexory. His background spans academia (PhD in Computer Science) and industry, giving him a strong grounding in both research-driven algorithm design and practical, cost-conscious productisation. Richard is equally comfortable iterating prototypes and setting technical policy, often turning customer data into digital-twin optimisations to validate concepts in the real world.
